Is there a way to get this:  
“red, blue, green”

from this:

```auto

<colorSet>
<color>red</color>
<color>blue</color>
<color>green</color>
</colorSet>

```

**without iteration ?**

… and this:  
“colorA, colorB, colorC”

from this:

```auto

<colorSet>
<colorA>red</colorA>
<colorB>blue</colorB>
<colorC>green</colorC>
</colorSet>

```

**…again, not in the loop ?**  
I was hoping the “XML.toString” would do it for me, but i need only the values or nodeNames. I can get that via iteration, i was just hoping for les “costly” way…

thanx all
