First, you put the result in a variable: <xsl:variable name="x"> <xsl:for-each select=... <something/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> In XSLT 1.0, to address into this variable, you need the xx:node-set() extension (in your case, xalan:nodeset()). In 2.0, you can use it directly. <xsl:variable name="evens" as="xs:integer*"> <xsl:for-each select="1 to 100"> <xsl:sequence select=". * 2"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="$evens[5]"/> Though for this example it's easier to use an XPath "for" expression.
