Here is another solution using the node-set function.
<xsl:template match="/root/nodes">
<xsl:variable name="rtf">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:if test="text() != ''">
<a/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of
select="count(vendor:node-set($rtf)/a)" />
</xsl:template>

How do I use the count() function to count the
number of nodes that do NOT have a blank value. I
have
the following xml. In this case the count should be
6.
<root>
<nodes>
<tele1>abc</tele1>
<tele2></tele2>
<tele3>abc</tele3>
<tele4></tele4>
<tele5>abc</tele5>
<tele6>abc</tele6>
<node1></node1>
<node2>abc</node2>
<node3>abc</node3>
</nodes>
</root>
I am doing something like this:
<xsl:variable name="num"
select="count(root/nodes/*[starts-with(local-name(),'tele')!=''
or starts-with(local-name(),'node')!=''])" />
But this counts even the nodes that have a blank
value.
Thanks
Sam.
