I'm trying to extract some information from XML from Weather Underground.

I can open the resource and pull out the desired elements, but I really want to return the element `text` as a variable, without the containing XML element tags, so I can manipulate it and display it on a web page.

Perhaps there is a way to do this using regexp to strip off the tags, but I suspect/hope I can do this in a more elegant fashion directly in Nokogiri.

Currently I am using irb to work out the syntax:

```
irb>require 'rubygems'
irb>require 'nokogiri'
irb>require 'open-uri'
irb>doc = Nokogiri::XML(open('http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/WXCurrentObXML/index.xml?query=KBHB'))
=> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
=> <?xml version="1.0"?>
# [...]
<!-- 0.036:0 -->

irb>doc.xpath('/current_observation/weather')
=> <weather>Clear</weather>irb(main):019:0> 
irb>doc.xpath('/current_observation/wind_dir')
=> <wind_dir>North</wind_dir>
irb>doc.xpath('/current_observation/wind_mph')
=> <wind_mph>10</wind_mph>
irb>doc.xpath('/current_observation/pressure_string')
=> <pressure_string>31.10 in (1053 mb)</pressure_string>

```

I need help with the specific syntax while using constructs such as:

```
doc.xpath.element('/current_observation/weather')
doc.xpath.text('/current_observation/weather')
doc.xpath.node('/current_observation/weather')
doc.xpath.element.text('/current_observation/weather')

```

All return errors.
