Hi
I am trying the following code,
but it is not working
                NodeList nScene = doc.getElementsByTagName("firstLineTexts");
          NodeList nScene1 = nScene.item(0).getChildNodes();
          for (int i = 0; i < nScene1.getLength(); i++)
               Node n = nScene1.item(i);
                    nScene.item(0).removeChild(n);
          }
