Subject: Watir:  XML Element includes Escape Sequences

I'm working on a test script using Watir.  I'm new to Ruby and I'm
struggling with syntax.

if (ARGV[0] == nil)
  #caseName = 'Default'
  caseName = 'Other'
else
  caseName = ARGV[0]
end

root = doc.root
testCasePath = "*TestCases/TestCase[@name='" + caseName + "']"

REXML::XPath.each(doc.root, testCasePath) do |elt|
    if (elt.attributes["name"] == caseName)
      FirstName =elt.elements["FirstName"].text
      puts FirstName


When I get the FirstName value there are a bunch of escape characters
(/n/t/t) coming from the XML document.

Do I have bad syntax or is there another problem?

Thanks.
