Joerg, well, i need to keep up with a running total of the number of topics printed. Here's some xml and I only want to print a total of 4 topics. <Category value="category1"> <topic value="topic1-1"/> </Category> <Category value="category2"> <topic value="topic2-1"/> <topic value="topic2-2"/> </Category> <Category value="category3"> <topic value="topic3-1"/> <topic value="topic3-2"/> </Category> Output should be Category1 topic1-1 Category2 topic2-1 topic2-2 Category3 topic3-1 Notice topic3-2 has been eliminated. I don't want the total to apply per category, I want it to be a sum of all the topics printed.

Try to specify the path more exactly.
