If you are looking for a simple count of each object within a node(not a
sum of objects that includes the table subnode), then both of these will
work:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//TABLE">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(count(DPROW/OBJECT),

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//TABLE"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="TABLE">
<xsl:apply-templates select="DPROW"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="DPROW">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(count(OBJECT), ' ')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
However, if you need the sum then you will need to use some
recurision(off hand this is what I am thinking).
I think your problem with DPROW/OBJECT is that you are getting a count
based on the first table context.

Subject: [xsl] XPath statement for traversing a nested node structure
I need some assistance with traversing a nested xml input file
structure.
I need to determine between the begining of one nested structure and
another the number of occurances of a particular element.
Example:
<TABLE><DPROW><OBJECT></OBJECT></DPROW></TABLE> would yield an occurance
of one OBJECT element using the XPath statement DPROW/OBJECT.
The above XPath statement falls apart though when I introduce nested
structures.
<TABLE><DPROW><OBJECT></OBJECT><TABLE><DPROW><OBJECT></OBJECT><OBJECT></
OBJECT></DPROW></TABLE></DPROW></TABLE>
Inner most TABLE element has two OBJECT elements and the outer TABLE
element would yield one OBJECT element.
What is a valid XPath statement need for traversing the nested xml
structure above?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kenny,
I will try your suggestion above. I am having problems with XPath based
upon my nested xml file structure.
Is there a XPath expression that while I am traversing my nested xml
input file I can determine how many OBJECT elements exist between each
<TABLE> </TABLE> structure or <DPROW></DPROW>. With the nesting
structure of my xml input file I can have tables nested within dprows
and objects within each of those dprows.
