I'm not sure, but if I understood well, you need simply position():
~/xslt/tests> cat analyse-string.xsl
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="input" select="'aa^aaa^aaa^^aa'"/>
<xsl:template name="main">
<xsl:analyze-string select="$input" regex=".{{1,6}}\^">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<line count="{ position() }">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</line>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<non>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</non>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
~/xslt/tests> saxon -it main analyse-string.xsl
<line count="1">aa^</line>
<line count="2">aaa^</line>
<line count="3">aaa^</line>
<non>^aa</non>
:) !!
It didn't even occur to me to use position()
great stuff, thanks.
