Hi Erico, I am developing the application under Palm OS only. I am using the file streaming functions provided by the palm. Sorry if I had not mentioned that clearly.
I am reposting my question below again. I have a created an XML file that looks like this. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><MyMail xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="MyMail.xsd"><Mail><MailID>M1</MailID><Date>20 03-12-3</Date><Content>Hello</Content></Mail></MyMail> I need to find how many mails are stored in the file. I can determine this by counting the number of occurances of "<Mail>". How to I do this? I need to do this so that I can append new mails to this file & appropriately increment the MailID Thanks, RK > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
