SQL & PL/SQL

I'm stuck trying to loop through an xml query cursor

I have something like....

cursor c_records

     is

     select (xmlelement("item",

                   .....

         ) as "items"

     from table x

     where.....

Now I would like to loop through my xml records but I'm having a hard time and display them using dbms_output.put_line() but i'm having a hard time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
