Re: [xsl] reset increment on attribute value change

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Probably your XML is something like this:

<root>
 <a name="1">
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
 </a>
 <a name="2">
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
 </a>
 <a name="3">
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
   <b>
     <c/>
   </b>
 </a>
</root>

The following stylesheet when applied to the above XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="text" />

<xsl:template match="/root">
 <xsl:for-each select="a">
   <xsl:for-each select=".//c">
     <xsl:value-of select="position()" /><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
   </xsl:for-each>
   <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
 </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Produces output:

1
2

1
2
3

1
2
3
4

If this is not what you need, please provide more details.
