We are sent XML orders that have this structure.. 

   <OrderDetail>
       <ListOfItemDetail>
           <ItemDetail>
               <BuyerLineItemNum>1</BuyerLineItemNum>
               <ListOfStructuredNote>
                   <StructuredNote>
                       <GeneralNote>Line 1 Text.</GeneralNote>
                   </StructuredNote>
               </ListOfStructuredNote>
           </ItemDetail>
           <ItemDetail>
               <BuyerLineItemNum>2</BuyerLineItemNum>
               <ListOfStructuredNote>
                   <StructuredNote>
                       <GeneralNote>Line 2 Text.</GeneralNote>
                   </StructuredNote>
               </ListOfStructuredNote>
               <ListOfStructuredNote>
                   <StructuredNote>
                       <GeneralNote>More Line 2 Text.</GeneralNote>
                   </StructuredNote>
               </ListOfStructuredNote>
           </ItemDetail>
       </ListOfItemDetail>
   </OrderDetail>

We use these bits of perl code to extract the data. 

   my ( $orderDetail ) = $message->{OrderDetail};
   my ( $itemDetails ) = $orderDetail->{ListOfItemDetail}->{ItemDetail
+};

   $LineNoteNum = scalar ( @$itemDetails );

   for ( $itemNum = 0; $itemNum < $LineNoteNum; $itemNum++ )
   {

          my ( $lineItemNote ) = $$itemDetails[$itemNum]{ListOfStructu
+redNote}->{StructuredNote};

       for ( $NoteNum = 0; $NoteNum < $LineNoteNum; $NoteNum++ )
       {

           my ( $testString ) = $$lineItemNote[$NoteNum]{GeneralNote};

       }
   }

We only get the first line of Text for each ItemDetail.

I suspect that is because that is all I am asking for.

How do I get it to loop through all the text lines sent.?

Many thanks,

Cyril.
