Subject: Reading values from xml file

I have a xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customerBill billerName="Vikash" billingAccountNumber="161"
startDate="06/01/2007" endDate="06/30/2007" openAmount="0.00"

customerName="ND" accountId="ab" accountNumber="N"
totalAmount="0.00"/><bill customerName="OES-161" accountId="eb"
accountNumber="OE" totalAmount="0.00"/></customerBill>

I want to display, store values like this

require "rexml/document"
include REXML
doc = Document.new File.new("yourBill.xml")
billerName="";billingAccountNumber="";startDate="";endDate="";openAmount="";totalCredits="";totalDebits="";
amountDue="";
root = doc.root
billerName =  root.attributes['billerName']
billingAccountNumber = root.attributes['billingAccountNumber']
startDate = root.attributes['startDate']
endDate = root.attributes['endDate']
openAmount = root.attributes['openAmount']
totalCredits = root.attributes['totalCredits']
totalDebits = root.attributes['totalDebits']
amountDue = root.attributes['amountDue']

puts "Biller Name: " + billerName
puts "Acct.# " +  billingAccountNumber
puts "Start Date : " + startDate
puts "End Date : " + endDate
puts "Open Amt. : " + openAmount
puts "Total Credits : " + totalCredits
puts "Total Debits : " + totalDebits
puts "Amount Due : " + amountDue

entire_details = root.elements.to_a("//bill")
puts entire_details
puts entire_details.length

puts entire_details[4].attributes['accountId']
puts
entire_details[2][0].elements["//bill/ratePlans"].attributes["totalAmount"]

I produces output like this:
