what i need is to know how much characters i have write in the output file
each time, because i want to make a table of contents like this:
paragraph1 begining end
--------- ------ ----
paragraph i ------ ----
the begining and the end position are exprimed in characters.
so for this reason i want to use an extern file named compte.xml
which i will use in my stylesheet every time for knowing the position.

i think i need absolutely the same file,
then XSLT is not your language of choice. You need a language tha allows
updaing of in place XML trees.
I don't see why the OP doesn't simply do (apologies for the archaic shell
language):
copy file.xml input.xml
xslt -in input.xml -xsl stylesheet.xsl -out file.xml
del input.xml
though if he's smart he's also going to back himself up....
In any case, nowhere in this thread today has it been explained why the
output needs to be the same *file* as the input, as opposed to merely
another file with the same *name* as the input file. (Which it would be in
any case, no matter how he did it.)
