Hi, This is my piece of code-

my $logFile = $ARGV[0]; 
die "usage: $0 <logFile>" unless $logFile; 
die "Logfile $logFile doesn't exist" unless -f "$logFile"; 
open(my $log, "<", $logFile) or die "Can't open $logFile for reading."
+; 
print "Processing file $logFile...\n"; 
#my $authenticates = {}; 
my $n = 0;
my $ArcotIDError_Count = 0;
my $QnAError_Count = 0;
my $UPError_Count = 0;
my $OTPError_Count = 0;
my $errorCode;
while(my $line = <$log>) { 
       $n++; 
    $line =~ tr/\r\n//d; 
    if($line =~ /Handling NSPAdvice for mechanism [4]/) {
        while ( $line = <$log> ) {
            if ($line =~ /Authentication mechanism returned [[](\S*)[]
+]/) {
                my $errorCode = $1;
                print $errorCode;
                if ($errorCode != 0 || $errorCode != 1) {
                  $ArcotIDError_Count++;
                }
            }
            next;
        }
    }    
    }
    print "Total Number Of ArcotID Authentication ErrorCode returned i
+s $ArcotIDError_Count\n";

I am counting the error code for Mechanism4. But it is not giving me the desired output,instead it prints 0. Here is the snippet of the logfile-
