Thanks for the reply but I don't have that option.

Anyways, I found a way to redirect stdout to a string. Its at Get from stdout a string - GIDForums
This method uses pipes. Haven't tried it yet but seems it will work.

Any similar ideas for taking input from a string or some memory buffer instead of files??

NAME
hxcount - count elements and attributes in HTML or XML files SYNOPSIS
hxcount [ file-or-URL ] DESCRIPTION
The hxcount command counts the number of elements and attributes of each type that appears in the input and prints a report on stdout. OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: file-or-URL The name or URL of an HTML or XML file. If absent, standard input is read instead. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. > 0 An error occurred in the parsing of the HTML or XML file. hxcount will try to recover from the error and produce output anyway. ENVIRONMENT
To use a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy. E.g., http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/" BUGS
Don't trust the output if there were errors in the input. Remote files (specified with a URL) are currently only supported for HTTP. Password-protected files or files that depend on HTTP "cookies" are not handled. (You can use tools such as curl(1) or wget(1) to retrieve such files.) SEE ALSO
