I have this XML:

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\>

111  
2009-03-02 - 2009-03-08  
2009-03-08T00:00:00  
  
  
113  
2009-02-16 - 2009-02-22  
2009-02-22T00:00:00  
  
.  
.  
.

I want to parse out the Week element with the weekID of 111.  
I’m using Hpricot and this but I can’t find it. What’s the xpath?  
doc.search(’//Week[weekID=111]’)
