Subject: [xsl] count() function
I am using a count function to count th enumber of <title>
tgas in an xml
file which contain a certain starting letter.
e.g. $alph = 'A'
<xsl:variable name="countletter" select="count(number of
titles with a
starting letter of a)"/>
<xsl:if test="($countletter > 0)">
<p><xsl:value-of select="$alph"/></p>
</xsl:if>
How would i write the test case for the xsl:if?
would u do some sort of string comparison like
not(starts-with($countletter,
'0'))??
i can't use keys as the xml is coming from multiple files.
cheers
james
