i have a rather long xml file which i need to parse and i'm not able to
proceed at a certain point. the code throws up errors when i try to access
the child nodes of a certain element.

I suppressed a lot of content and I hpe its okay. The main problem I have
here is when I access the element requests as
requests = get_elements_by_tagname(xroot, "requests")
slice_set = get_elements_by_tagname(requests, "slice")
for slice in sliceset
:
:
end
I get an error saying get_elements_by_tagname has no method matching ....
I tried find_element(requests[1], "slice") but that didn't work either. Is
it possible to parse this hugely complicated file and if yes, how can it be
handled?
