Subject: REXML to extract only values from XML?


Say I have an XML record like

 <Subscriber>
   <name>
     <firstName>CHRIS</firstName>
     <lastName>MCMAHON</lastName>
   </name>
   <ssn>111223333</ssn>
   </Subscriber>

I'd like to extract each value of each tag (without regard to
hierarchy) and add it to an array:

["CHRIS","MCMAHON","111223333"]

The REXML docs don't seem to address this.  I've tried various
methods, but I can't seem to find the way to address only the contents
of each tag.  Any suggestions would be welcome
