Re: How to add a string to an attribute

Following is the XML snippet that I'm working with;
...
What I want to do is; to count the item element and add this value in
front of title attribute and copy the rest of the information as it is.
What is the best way of doing this?

T:\uslu>type uslu.xml
<questestinterop>
        <item title="TT-1003_Mod01_Objective01_Title:"
ident="5112114679096874">
                <itemmetadata>
                <qmd_itemtype>Multiple Choice</qmd_itemtype>
                <qmd_status>Normal</qmd_status>
                <qmd_toolvendor>Vendor</qmd_toolvendor>
                <qmd_topic>Biomed Training\TT-1003</qmd_topic>
                </itemmetadata>
        </item>
        <item title="TT-1003_Mod01_Objective01_Title:"
ident="5112114679096874">
                <itemmetadata>
                <qmd_itemtype>Multiple Choice</qmd_itemtype>
                <qmd_status>Normal</qmd_status>
                <qmd_toolvendor>Vendor</qmd_toolvendor>
                <qmd_topic>Biomed Training\TT-1003</qmd_topic>
                </itemmetadata>
        </item>
            ....
            ....
</questestinterop>

T:\uslu>type uslu.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
