I agree with the others. I think you should reconsider your data.
This probably isn't your real data, but if it is it seems odd to have
level 2 description/id within a level 3 element.
<Level3>
<Level2Desc>Condo</Level2Desc>
<Level2ID>1001</Level2ID>
</Level3>

Hello! I've been struggling with something that seemed very simple when I
first started looking at it, but has become frustrating. I have hit the
archives and google, yet have found nothing to spark my imagination. All I
need is to process my xml and for each node that I process increment and
print a counter to the result file.
I have data that looks like this:
<level1>
<Level1Desc>Neighborhood</Level1Desc>
<Level1ID>1</Level1ID>
<Level2>
<Level2Desc>Street</Level2Desc>
<Level2ID>100</Level2ID>
<Level3>
<Level2Desc>House</Level2Desc>
<Level2ID>1000</Level2ID>
</Level3>
<Level3>
<Level2Desc>Condo</Level2Desc>
<Level2ID>1001</Level2ID>
</Level3>
</Level2>
<Level2>
<Level2Desc>Park</Level2Desc>
<Level2ID>101</Level2ID>
</Level2>
</level1>
There are many level 1s in my data.
I have looked at using the position function, but it seems to be based on
levels, so i was getting 1s 2s and 3s quite a bit. I tried looking at
recursion, but the examples I found were not nested.
I have been trying to use recursion samples that I found using this list
which I shall not reprint, but can supply a copy if needed.
So the end result of the processing would look something like
1 Neighborhood
2 Street
3 House
4 Condo
5 Park
Which is to say that every item that I do something with I need a unique
sequential number.
Thank you.
