I have to validate an xml file by counting number of segments in the file between ST and SE segments and balancing it against the count provided in the SE segment field. These ST and SE segments can repeat multiple times through out the file so I have to do this validation multiple times. Please let me know what is the best way to do this. TIA.

Have you tried anything? There are a tons of example of XML parsing is you simply searched. If the number of segments is static, for instance there should always be 5 child elements under each, you can use a XSD. If the number is dynamic and you need to confirm the count, use dot notation to get a count.
