Dear List Members:
I have run into a situation where I must increment a counter. This can be
worked around using recursion and calling a template. However, I need to
increment the counter while I iterate through a node-set. This would
normally just be a matter of adding another parameter to the template
call,
but I have to increment the counter based on a condition while iterating
through the node-set.
The pseudo-code for this particular situation would be something like
this:
function process-list-conditionally(list L)
{
if (not-empty(L))
for-each(L)
if (true)
increment-counter
otherwise
counter
}
What about:
count($L[yourCondition])
or
<xsl:for-each select="$L[yourCondition]">
<xsl:variable name="theCounter" select="position()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
If the case is more complicated, one will use one of "filter" , "foldl" ,
"iter, "scanIter" or "scanl" templates from FXSL -- I cannot say which,
because I haven't seen your actual problem.
