Just a quick note to thank all three of you for your quick and helpful 
answers.  There were two other (kinda non-programming) ways to get the 
answer too... one was with a quick import to a database and the other
was an import to a spreadsheet.  

The answer was 97,357,157 by the way.  :-)

Cheers,
Gaelyne
