given the xml
<vs>
<ve pos="1"></ve>
<ve pos="1.1"></ve>
<ve pos="1.1.1"></ve>
<ve pos="1.1.1.1"></ve>
<ve pos="1.1.1.2"></ve>
<ve pos="1.1.1.3"></ve>
<ve pos"1.2"></ve>
<ve pos="1.2.1"></ve>
<<ve pos="1.2.1.1"></ve>
<ve pos="2"></ve>
<ve pos="2.1"></ve>
<ve pos="2.1.1"></ve>
<ve pos="2.1.1.1"></ve>
</vs>
and given that i am starting on a node with pos=1 (or 2 or 3....), how do i
count the nodes which have position with 3 dots only (e.g. pos=1.1.2.1?) and
start with the current node position. I came up with something like this:
<xsl:variable name="rowspan" select="count(ve[starts-with(@position,
current()/@position) and contains(...........)])" />
e.g. for position 1, it should be 4 (1.1.1.1 , 1.1.1.2, 1.1.1.3, 1.2.1.1)
