Your expression is
count (A or B or C or D or E) >= 4
But (A or B or C or D or E) is a boolean, and the count() of a single
boolean value is always 1.
Try count((boolean(A), boolean(B), boolean(C), boolean(D), boolean(E))[.])
= 4
The unusual predicate [.] selects those booleans in the sequence that are
true.

Subject: [xsl] Big long xpath, almost there, but not quite
I want to thank everybody for their help on this. Michael
Kay, thaks for your help very much. I entered the following
Xpath. It is getting there, but it still is not quite right.
//GenTable[count(entry[Emphasis[normalize-space(.) = 'Address
Offset' and @type='bold'] or
Emphasis[normalize-space(.)='Physical Address' and
@type='bold'] or Emphasis[normalize-space(.)='Instance' and
@type='bold'] or Emphasis[normalize-space(.)='Description'
and @type='bold'] or Emphasis[normalize-space(.)='Type' and
@type='bold'] ]) >= 4]
When i use this, as i would like at least 4 entry element
that match the conditions above, hopefully 5, i would think
this should do the trick and return the GenTable elements
that contain them.
When i run it, however, i get no GenTable elements. When i
remove the count() function, i get no GenTable elements. When
i change the 4 9the minimum match value, to something smaller
like 1) i get no GenTable elements. When i change the number
4 to 0, i get ALL the GenTable elements.
I would have thought that removing the count() function would
have given me all the GenTable elements containing those
entry elements.
Could someone explain a little about this? The reasoning
seems sound, i just don't know why it is doing what it is!
thanks again,
Russ
