The piece of code that I use to get the attributes is as follows:

set doc [dom parse $xmloutput]
set root [$doc documentElement]

set jobNumberList [$root selectNodes
/job_info/queue_info/job_list/JB_job_number/text()]


for {set ind 0} {$ind < 70 } {incr ind 1} {
set node [lindex $jobNumberList $ind]
set xml(job$ind,jobNumber) [$node nodeValue]

Where the xmloutput is from the output of a program.
Then I set up a for loop which goes through and extracts each job id,
however, despite the xml having over 500 entries, I always get only 70
job ids.

The error I get if I try to read more than 70 is:

----------------------------------------------------------------
TCL Error
invalid command name ""
invalid command name ""
while executing
"$node nodeValue"
(procedure "test_issue123" line 35)
invoked from within
"$elem"
----------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Michal
