xPath Queries in RapidMiner

Hey all,

in the meantime i spent plenty of hours with Rapidminer trying to get a clean text out of a html document using xPath.
I built some xPath queries which worked fine with Google Docs (Spreadsheets), but it seems no matter what i do they won´t work with Rapidminer properly :(

The query "//div[@id='review']/div/div/div[2]/div[2]" (@website: "http://www.holidaycheck.de/hotelbewertung-ferienbauernhof+arnoldgut+familie+mayrhofer+unser+erster+super+toller+bauernhofurlaub-ch_hb-id_7215281.html") in Google Docs returns exactly the text i want to have. When i try to send the query in Rapidminer, the attribute generated by the "Extract Information" operator contains nothing.

I´ve tested different queries which all worked in Google Docs, but only some of them are working in RM.
The querie "//h:div[@id='reviewTypeLong']" works in RM and the returned text contains all the information i need. The problem here is  that i haven´t found any way to remove the html tags yet. I´ve tried the "Cut Documents" and "Remove Document Parts" operators with the RegEx  <[^>]*>  but it doesn´t to what it should. Further i don´t know how to use the  "Extract Content" operator on attributes, so i could remove the html tags after i extracted the useful parts of the website.

I´m really getting crazy with this, and before I spent several hours more, I hope that some experienced "Rapid-Miners" could help me with this.

Lots of thanks in advance for any help!!!
