Hello all.

I have a little problem here that probably has a simple solution. I have an xml file that I loaded and parsed and end up with xmlist like this:

\<goals\>20\</goals\>  
\<goals\>23\</goals\>  
\<goals\>19\</goals\>

I want to variable that adds the goals together to get 62. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance
