Ahh - I misunderstood your original questions. I thought you were counting
the pieces of data, and verifying that the data was present, not the total
number of tabs.
I'll read more carefully next time :)

now you would think that would work, but it doesn't.
when running the code below, you see that there are 51 tabs in the string.
If you use listlen, you only get the tabs that have data between them which
amounts to 34.
