Summing multiple matches with rex command

I have a pattern of text that appears in a log statement multiple times.

Here is an example:

 

 

RandomStuff|LoginCount=5|RandomStuff|LoginCount=3|More RandomStuff|LoginCount=4|YetMoreRandomStuff

 

 

How can I use the rex command to get a sum of all the LoginCount values (which would total 12 in this example)?

Thanks!

Jonathan

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed!

I forgot to mention that I don't know how many times LoginCount will appear in any particular log statement. The number of instances will vary.
