Hi,
I have small XSL example which is posing rather large difficulty for me... (I think due to the use of parenthesis needed for document order location path). Is there an XML guru that can help me with the correct statement for the example below? Thanks in advance.

In the following XML document, I need to be able to query the following:


1) The number of reports which contain an "a" or "b" code where the last code (in document order) which is either an "a" or "b" is an "a".

*correct number is 3 *


2) The number of reports which contain an "a" or "b" code where the last code (in document order) which is either an "a" or "b" is a "b".


*correct number is 1*


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <reportlist> <report> <code type="a"/> <code type="b"/> <code type="c"/> </report> <report> <code type="a"/> <code type="b"/> <code type="a"/> </report> <report> <code type="z"/> <code type="a"/> <code type="d"/> </report> <report> <code type="a"/> <code type="e"/> <code type="f"/> </report> <report> <code type="e"/> </report> </reportlist>
