How to extract text outside xml tags

I want to extract text outside of tags. For instance,

<body>
    This is an exmaple
    <p>
        blablabla
    </p>
    <references>
        refer 1
        refer 2
    </references>
</body>

I want to get the text "This is an example" only without the text in other tags (p or reference). I tried several methods but did not work. Any1 can help? Many thanks.

You must present the text inside the tag, for example node. The text node is extracted using the node test text(). Example. Given:

<body>
    This is an exmaple
    <p>
    blablabla
    <\p>
    <references>
        refer 1
        refer 2
    <\references>
    another example
<\body>

XPath:

"/body/text()"

Retrieves all child text nodes body, for example, “This is an example” and “another example”, as well:

"/body/text()[1]"

, " ". , :

"/body//text()"

, p:

"/body/p[1]//text()"

XPath: /body/text(). This is an exmaple.
