in thread Count Using Split

Thanks for the response. I caught that one right after I posted it but it still doesn't yield a useful count. It is giving me "0-100000-10145". I'm thinking that the 145 might be the count that I'm looking for but I'm not sure why the other digits are printing out. Is this a result of too much formatting in the xml file?

    Show us the line of the input xml file that is giving you this result.

    As an alternate approach, have you considered using one of the CPAN modules, such as XML::Twig? XML is notoriously difficult to parse.
