xml - Get nth child node without knowing node name Groovy -

i have xml this:

<node1>   <node2>     <node3>       <node4>         <node5>           <node6>           </node6>           <node7>           </node7>         </node5>       </node4>     </node3>   </node2> </node1> 

how can name of 6th node - assuming don't know node's name "node6"?

i have:

def text = <xml above> def list = new xmlslurper().parsetext(text) 

thanks in advance.

how about:

def text = <xml above> def node = new xmlslurper().parsetext(text)[0] 5.times { node  = node.children()[0] } assert node.name() == "node6"
