    You can dump this into a file and read relevant sections with your favorite method.

    library(scrapeR)
f = system.file("exampleData", "mtcars.xml", package="XML")
doc = xmlTreeParse(f, useInternalNodes = TRUE)
sink("your.file.txt")
doc
sink()

    Read in, for instance

    readLines("your.file.txt")
