Re: [xsl] count selected nodes in for-each

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

   I have this for-each sequence that filters the data when select statement is
   true.

   <xsl:for-each
   select="document('../../released_xml/news_xml_en/newsticker.xml')/News/Block
   [@STARTDATE = '01']">
   blabla
   </xsl:for-each>

   Now, I want to know into how many nodes this for-each results, with the
   purpose to use that number in this selection:

   <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="previous_amount_nudes = 0">blabla</xsl:when>
   </xsl:choose>



you haven't said whether the xsl:choose is inside or outside the
for-each. 

If it's inside then you can use last() otherwise you can use 
 count(document('../../released_xml/news_xml_en/newsticker.xml')/News/Block
   [@STARTDATE = '01']" )
