NSXML and element parsing

Hi,

I'm somewhat new to Cocoa and come from a basic Perl/C background. I'm trying to write a small application that will parse a very simple XML file, for now I have it reading the XML document and it can go through every child with a for loop, however I need to only get a single element and not the entire child.

I seem to be missing something because everything I've tried gives me unrecognized selectors.

For now here is my basic code that is simply looping and works:

NSXMLDocument *xmlDoc;
NSError *err=nil;

NSURL *furl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://rakis.net/~justin/printapp/output5.xml "]];
xmlDoc = [[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:furl options:NSXMLDocumentTidyXML error:&err];


	if (!furl) {
        NSLog(@"Can't create a URL from path");
        return;
    }
	
	int i, count = [[xmlDoc rootElement] childCount];
	for (i=0; i < count; i++) {
		NSXMLNode *rootNode = [[xmlDoc rootElement] childAtIndex:i];
		NSLog(@"%i - %@\n",i,[rootNode stringValue]);
		
	}

For testing purposes my XML file looks like this :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mysqldump xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
	<Book>
		<Comment>amazing book</Comment>
		<Title>Book Title</Title>
		<Publisher>Me</Publisher>
	</Book>
	<Book>
		<Comment>bad book</Comment>
		<Title>Another Book</Title>
		<Publisher>Someon Else</Publisher>
	</Book>
</mysqldump>


TIA,
-justin
