RE: [xsl] counting number of occurances in elements

["Sharma, Jaikumar" <jaikumar.sharma@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Michael,

Example :

		<root>
		    <sub-root>
			<element>test123</element>
			<element>test145</element>
			<element>test129</element>
			<element>test145</element>
			<element>test129</element>
		   </sub-root>
		</root>


I want to count total number of occurances having '145' under sub-root
node, which I am doing like following :

		<xsl:template match="/">
		   <xsl:apply-templates select="root/sub-root" />
		</xsl:template>

		<xsl:template match="sub-root">
		     <xsl:varialbe name="elements.count"
select="count(substring(element,5,3)='145')"/>
		     <xsl:value-of select="$element.count" />
		</xsl:template>


The above gives me the error 'Expression doest not return a DOM node' .

I am not sure what wrong I am doing here ?

Regards.

I'm afraid it's not clear to me either from your English description or
from your incorrect code exactly what you are trying to achieve (Or more
accurately, the guess I would make from your English description would
have no mention of any variable called $compiler.warn.loc, so I assume
it would probably be wrong). An example of input and output would help.
