Hi, James,
Did you change companies? I recall your e-mail used to be something else
(or perhaps I mis-remember).
Anyway, you can use the xsl:number instruction to get what you want:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:number select="transaction_set/segment[(_at_)type='HL']"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Just tested it with Saxon 8.4 and got 3.

Subject
[xsl] find position of first occurrence in a node set
Greetings,
I have a node set that looks like this:
<transaction_set>
<segment type='SL'>
A
</segment>
<segment type='GS'>
B
</segment>
<segment type='HL'>
C
</segment>
<segment type='PR'>
D
</segment>
....
</transaction_set>
I need to find the position of the first <segment> element that has the
type of 'HL'. So for my example above it should return 3.
Thanks you in advance,
