Hello, Thanks for all your replies.
This however does not work for me OR I dont understand the problem I encountered.
This is the exact error that I encouter when running my perl code.
--------------
Argument "XML::XPath::Node::Element=REF(0x86c31c8)->findvalue('loo..." isn't
numeric in numeric eq (==) at ./gencap.pl line 124.
-----------------The code snippet is
57 my $doc = XML::XPath-> new(filename=>$specfile);
58
59 my @mails = $doc-> findnodes('//mail');
60
61 foreach my $mail (@mails) {
. . . 123 $loopcount = "$mail->findvalue('loopcount')"; 124 if($loopcount == 0) {$loopcount = 1};
So is that the value returned by findvalue is not string and something else.
Thanks and Regards, Manish

Hi List, How do i convert a string variable returned by some XPath API into a number so that I can compare it or loop using this number.
I am reading one number from XML and I want to use it for looping.
In general, conversion from a string to a number is transparent in Perl. "4" is the same as 4.
