An XPath such as *[2]/*[1] ? Do you want > this as a string, or do you want the node returned, or what? Its position within the sub-tree (numerical position) <mainElement> <testcase> <child1>first text</child1> <child2> <child21> this is the text node for I want which I want to find its position and it contains three dots (...) </child21> </child2> </testcase> <testcase> <child1>first text</child1> <child2> <child21> some other text that I don't want <child211> This is the text node for I which want to find its position and it contains three dots (...) </child211> </child21> </child2> </testcase> </mainElement> As I am traversing this tree with a statement like <xsl:template match = "testcase"> ..... At that point my context node will be "testcase" and I want to know its position() (its order position , ie. 1, 2, 3, 4 and so forth) within that node-set. Note that when my context node is the second "testcase", then that position within the tree is different since the tree is sligthtly different. > > I hope I can get an answer to these questions: > I think you need to ask more specific (or at least better specified) > questions.
