Dhivya JSubject: Counting Elements
Author: Dhivya J

Hi,
Below is my XML :
<ex>
<a>
<b>
<b>
</a>
<a>
<b>
</a>
<a></a>
</ex>

I need to count the number of <a> tas with atleast one sub element b tag.
i.e) for the above xml i should be getting the count as 2(Though I have 3 <a> tags in the XML the third <a> does not have b in it)

I tried the below function :
Count(\ex\a\b[some conditions for b tags attribute])--->but this gives me the number of b tags and not the count of a tags with atleast one btag

Can any one help on this ?

Thanks in advance,
Dhivya

Simple!

<xsl:value-of select="count(ex/a/b[1])"></xsl:value-of>

count(ex/a[b])

This counts actual a nodes. The above answer is counting the first b subnodes within a nodes. It is the same value, but is a little more complicated.
