conjunction junk
Does this help?

No, separate pieces of code do not help but confuse

$Expenses actually looks like this:

<Expenses>
  <expense>mileage 10</expense>
  <expense>basketball</expense>
  <expense>icing</expense>
  <expense>mileage 40</expense>
</Expense>

I need a result of "50".

Does this help?
