Parsing HTML content

Question

I am parsing the link http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NDTV-Tech/~3/YNW1kE-FDv0/story01.htm to get the contents from 'HeadContent_FullstoryCtrl_fulldetails' HTML tag. I am using TFHpple and pointing xpath parser to the HTML element using //*[@id='HeadContent_FullstoryCtrl_fulldetails'].

The response of this is in an NSArray which has the output as in below sample. I need to get only 'nodeContent' data so that i can get the news details alone.

<__NSArrayM 0x16d73950>(
{
    nodeAttributeArray =     (
                {
            attributeName = id;
            nodeContent = "HeadContent_FullstoryCtrl_fulldetails";
        },
                {
            attributeName = class;
            nodeContent = description;
        }
    );
    nodeChildArray =     (
                {
            nodeChildArray =             (
                                {
                    nodeContent = "The Lumia 1520 has two big things working against it, neither of \nwhich is a deal-breaker on its own, but when combined, make it a very \ninteresting product to review. First, it's a Windows Phone. While the \nplatform certainly does have its fans, there's no denying that it isn't \nas versatile as iOS and Android yet. As a person buying this phone, you \nwill have to put up with a number of limitations and frustrations \nbecause of its software. Second, it's huge. So-called \"phablets\" are big\n business, but not everybody wants a phone that can't fit in a pocket \nand be held in one hand. With that said, it's time to examine this phone\n on its own merits and see whether Nokia has managed to distinguish \nitself with a winner.";
                    nodeName = text;
                }
            );
            nodeName = p;
            raw = "<p>The Lumia 1520 has two big things working against it, neither of \nwhich is a deal-breaker on its own, but when combined, make it a very \ninteresting product to review.
