Carsten and Arshad. Xindice to my best knowledge always delivers an XML Document, so to extract a text node you will need post-processing or filtering. Carsten shows two examples of this in java code (The DOM solution should work as well). Depending on your application environment, you could choose other methods, e.g. XSL transformation or a simple perl script. But something will have to be done to the Xindie output.
