hi,
First of all thanks a mile for answering my query which confirmed my guess
that i can not increment variable in xsl.
Well my xsl is like this.
When i m parsing my xsl file i m creating quotes like this and it is HARDCODED
and this I counted and put into my xsl file as show below where at someplace i
need like this.
<xsl:text>
``````````````````````````````</xsl:text>
And at other place i need something like this.
<xsl:text>
``````</xsl:text>
So i was trying to confirm that can i declare a variable and code in other
languages as under:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
int quoteCount = 30; // for example this many quotes i need
for(int i = 0; i < quoteCount ; i++)
printf("`");
// cout << "`" \
// Console.Write("`")
// System.Out.print("`");
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for taking out your time and answering my question. Well i thought from
here i will get conformace for my guessing thats why i asked question like
this and if it bothered someone i am really sorry for that.
Regards,
Dipesh

Variables, once declared, cannot be changed. You could pass the old value to
the called template with a parameter and declare a variable inside the
template which adds one to the value passed as a parameter when the template
is called recursively, but probably there's a better way to achieve the
result. We could tell more if you supply a stripped-down example of your
source XML and your stylesheet.

Hi,
I am creating a text output from xml and at some places i have to give
hardcoded special characters.
Is is possible to declare a variable having numerical value and incrementing
it using expression inside for loop ?
If somebody can throw some light on this issue i would be grateful.

Dipesh

This not a very explicit description of a problem that needs to be solved
using incrementing variables.

No ... this is a FFFFAQ ... even a simple query will tell you the answer to
this question:
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=increment+global+variable+xslt
Gee, it even happens to be my answer that is at the top of the list tonight.
If somebody can throw some light on this issue i would be grateful.
Variables in XSLT do not vary within their scope. Now your question has
been answered, but you only asked a yes/no question and you haven't given
enough detail for anyone to help you with your real problem.
If you take a moment to describe the nature of the problem you are trying
to solve where you think you need a varying variable, people on the list
will be able to tell you about the position() function or the <xsl:number/>
instruction, or about tree walking with recursive template calls, or any of
a number of other XSLT facilities that may be able to help you solve your
problem.
And please take your time to try and do *some* research before asking
people to take from their time to answer your questions that have already
been answered.
I hope this helps.
............... Ken

You *cannot increment* variables in XSLT. But you may
use count() and possibly other workarounds to generate
serial nos.
