Meltem,

I think you'll find that Jim's latest is the neatest solution, and should work fine.

Note that his observation that your original problem is somewhat underspecified is also correct, so you may have to make allowances for that if your input data is not always exactly what you expect. (You could validate ahead of time to prevent this -- note that DTD validation won't do it, though XML-Schema might -- or even perform some exception-checking within your XSLT.)

Cheers,
Wendell

Oops as always I have missed something. The first example does not work
in every case. Instead try:

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="data/item[text() != 'Solution']">
        <xsl:value-of select="." />
        <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
        <xsl:if test="position() = 3">
            <xsl:text>Solution </xsl:text>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
