<Shipment Action>

<ShipmentLines>

<ShipmentLine PrimeLine="2" />

<ShipmentLine PrimeLine="3"/>

<ShipmentLine PrimeLine="4"/>

<ShipmentLine PrimeLine="1"/>

</ShipmentLines>

in the above xml file i have to pick out the ShipmentLine count, some times ShipmentLine increases.

I have tried different rex combination without luck, any suggestions.

output:

ShipmentLine=4 count

| rex max_match=0 "(?<ShipmentLine>ShipmentLine)\s"
| eval count=mvcount(ShipmentLine)

Since your elements don't appear to have any data (only attributes) spath/xpath will end up with empty fields which then can't be easily counted
