Hello Monks,

I need to call upon your help yet again. I have the following mediumtext field in a mysql database. Here's a typical pull.

BookUsageDetail: <BookReferences><BookUsage BookAbbr="dgpc01s" LinkedCount="1"/><BookUsage BookAbbr="gfac06s01" LinkedCount="3"/><BookUsage BookAbbr="gfca08s" LinkedCount="1"/><BookUsage BookAbbr="mcba06s" LinkedCount="2"/><BookUsage BookAbbr="kfei03s01" LinkedCount="2"/><BookUsage BookAbbr="hgia05s01" LinkedCount="1"/></BookReferences>

What I Need to do is get the stuff after BookAbbr into separate variables. I'd like to use a hash with the key being the stuff after BookAbbr and the value being what appears after LinkedCount so I'd have a hash that would look something like this:

hgia05s01 => 2, kfei03s01 => 2, and so on.

Still getting use to regex so any help is much appreciated! Thanks again guys.
