string-length($s) - string-length(translate($s, 'X', ''))
or if you prefer
string-length(replace($s, '[^X]', ''))

Subject: [xsl] Counting occurences of a character in a string
Hello,
in XSLT 2, is there an easier or more efficient way to count
the occurrences of a certain character (here: 'X') in a string $s than
string-length( string-join( tokenize( $s, "[^X]+" ), "" ) )
?
I'm sure there must be, I just don't see it at the moment...
