Whitespaces in parser output

[SpecialAgentX]

Hey guys,

im just want to traverse all the html elements in my html file and to put out only the names of the html tags. In advanced, I would like to use this as a DOM inspector. But if i traverse the tree with my function ( below ). There are so many whitespaces in the output ( in the Nodelist ), and I dont know how to erase them.

Code:

    public static void getText(Parser parser) throws ParserException {
       
        // get the whole document
        NodeList list = parser.parse (null);
       
        // set pointer to the root
        Node node = list.elementAt(0);

        // traverse all childs of the root
        for ( int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++ ) {
            node = list.elementAt(i);
            printChild(node);
        }
       
    }
   
    public static void printChild(Node node) {
        // check if the node has only an escape sequenz
        if ( node.getText().compareTo("\n") != 0 &&
             node.getText().compareTo("\t") != 0 &&
             node.getText().compareTo("\b") != 0 &&
             node.getText().compareTo("\f") != 0 &&
             node.getText().compareTo("\r") != 0 &&
             node.getText().compareTo(" ") != 0)
            // print out the content of the node
            System.out.println(node.getText());
       
        // check if node has more childs
        if ( node.getChildren() != null ) {
            // if yes, traverse all childs
           
            NodeList nodelist = node.getChildren();
            Node newNode;
                     
            for ( int i = 0; i < nodelist.size(); i++ ) {
                newNode = nodelist.elementAt(i);
                printChild(newNode);
            }
        }
    }

BTW: Here is the program output for the site www.heise.de
( output starts at the first double quote and ended with the last one ) :

As you can see... so many line breaks, although i checked all the whitespaces.

( Each line is stored in a Node ! )
