Assigning a value to a variable is simplicity itself, but your question makes it clear that you want to re-assign the value of a variable, and you cannot do that.

You want to maintain a counter, but it is almost certain that you do not *need* to maintain a counter. You have to find another way to solve the problem.

If you post a sample of your XML source and a sample of the output you want, someone here will surely show you how to do it.
