<xsl:value-of select="count(.//entry[starts-with(@aid5:cellstyle,
'tbody_cell')])"/>
Or if you want to match those special cells:
<xsl:template match="entry[starts-with(@aid5:cellstyle, 'tbody_cell')]">
</xsl:template>
Thanks Michael. I will look into it and will revert, if any concerns. Though
I've done it other way around, but certainly thanks for help.
I just learned about the -- very old and long-existing, but I never had to
use it -- function starts-with() by browsing Michael Kays wonderful (and
heavy) Reference ("The Book").

I guess you want something like
count(.//entry[contains(@aid5:cellstyle, 'tbody_cell')])

PS: This just checks for "contains" and not "begins with".
<xsl:value-of select="count(.//entry[starts-with(@aid5:cellstyle,
'tbody_cell')])"/>

<xsl:template match="entry[starts-with(@aid5:cellstyle, 'tbody_cell')]">

In your original post you mention looking for »contains or starts- with«.
Since starts-with is a subset of contains, there is no use of checking both.
You either want contains() or you want starts-with().
The above works with XSLT 1 or 2 for your markup:
<table>
<thead>
<entry aid5:cellstyle=tbody_cell">
<para>xxx</para>
</entry>
<entry aid5:cellstyle=tbody_cell">
<para>xxx</para>
</entry><entry aid5:cellstyle=tbody_cell_l"> <para>xxx</para>
</entry><entry aid5:cellstyle=tbody_cell_l"> <para>xxx</para>
</entry> </thead> </table>
All I am trying to do is while in <table> trying to count the nos
entry whose @aid5:cellstyle contains or starts-with tbody_cell.
Believe me I've used these functions lots of time mostly with nodes,
but nothings seems to be working with attributes. May be I never
tested "attribute values" with these functions.
Any clue will be highly appreciated.
HTH,
- Michael
