usha,

Where to start...

Semantics, but you need to give ctr a starting value, otherwise you're adding 1 
to nil, which isn't going to fly.
Look at your if statement - it is looking at ie.link().exists? for each link on 
the page. This is going to result in a zero if the link does not appear, and a 
count of all links on the page if the link appears once or more since a single 
instance of the link is going to mean that no matter how many times you look at 
the page, you're always going to find it again - Not the count I believe you're 
looking for.

Let's try this:

item_search=/blah.com/
ctr = 0
ie.links.each do |l|
       ans=l.href =~ item_search
       if ans
           ctr = ctr+1
       end
end
