Sequencing, Numbering, and Count

2004-03-09 20:51:59
While producing my XML output with XSLT I also need to count the number of 
nodes I created and add sequence numbers to each node.  Please note that I 
cannot use the count function on the original document as there is no way to 
retrieve this data without producing the transformed data first.
 
Eg.  (This is what it looks like now)
 
<ePASS>
        <Document>
                        <Quote>
                                    <Data>....</Data>
                        </Quote>
            </Document>
        <Document>
                        <Quote>
                                    <Data>....</Data>
                        </Quote>
            </Document>
        <Document>
                        <Quote>
                                    <Data>....</Data>
                        </Quote>
            </Document>
</ePASS>
 
This is what needs to look like:
 
<ePASS>
        <Document seq="1">
                        <Quote>
                                    <Data>....</Data>
                        </Quote>
            </Document>
        <Document seq="2">
                        <Quote>
                                    <Data>....</Data>
                        </Quote>
            </Document>
        <Document seq="3">
                        <Quote>
                                    <Data>....</Data>
                        </Quote>
            </Document>
</ePASS>
 
Where the "seq" number is just a counter that is incremented by one.  Plus once 
the document is produced I need to set the maximum sequence number equal to a 
variable (In the above example it is 3) so that I can pass this information 
back to my middleware.
 
Thanks,
