Hi All,

I am a bit of a noob to Xpath & XSL and was wondering whether any of you could help me with a problem I've got. My xml structure looks like:

<nodeList>
<node id="c6"/>
<node id="c8"/>
<node id="c14"/>
</nodeList>
<linkList>
<link id="1" source="c6" target="c8">
<link id="2" source="c8" target="c14">
</linkList>

What I'd like to do is replace linkList/link/@source with the corresponding node position (e.g. 1,2,3) from nodeList.

i.e. something like
<xsl:for-each select="linkList/link">
<link id="1">
<xsl:attribute name="source">
<xsl:value-of select="../../linkList/link[@id=@source]"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</link>
</xsl:for-each)

The above value-of gets me to the node I require but to get the node number e.g. c6 -> 1, c8 -> 2 etc.
Also @source seems to need to have the full path which then ignores the for-each (always picks the first element).

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason

Found a couple of posts that pointed me in the right direction and managed to solve the problem:

to solve the 'losing' the current value of @source, stored it in a variable.
and to get the current node number, counted the preceding siblings + 1...

<xsl:variable name="sauce"><xsl:value-of select="@source"/></xsl:variable> <xsl:attribute name="From">
<xsl:value-of select="count(../../nodeList/node[@id=$sauce]/preceding- sibling::*)+1"/>
</xsl:attribute>
