Assuming you have valid XML (unlike in your question where there's no root node and mismatched tags), and assuming it's stored in a String variable:

def xml = '''<doc>
            |    <healthCardId>059A670</healthCardId> 
            |    <subscriberId>059A625</subscriberId> 
            |    <mbrSqncNum>10</mbrSqncNum> 
            |</doc>'''.stripMargin()

You can then parse this XML using:

def doc = new XmlParser().parseText( xml )

(if it's in a file, you can use this instead)

def doc = new XmlParser().parse( xmlFile )

Now it's unclear from your question exactly what it is you want... To print out all the tag names, you can do:

// prints '[doc, healthCardId, subscriberId, mbrSqncNum]'
println doc.'**'*.name()

(the same thing in longer form would be)

// prints '[doc, healthCardId, subscriberId, mbrSqncNum]'
println doc.breadthFirst()*.name()

Or to get the value of the tag mbrSqncNum, you can do:

// prints '10'
println doc.mbrSqncNum.text()

Or did you mean something else?
