I have a number of XML files as input, and I transform them into another XML format using XSLT. ... So, for example, if I had 5 input xml files a.xml, b.xml, c.xml, d.xml, e.xml, and I transformed them into Aout.xml, Bout.xml, Cout.xml, Dout.xml and Eout.xml , How are you accessing those 5 input files? the output of which looks something like below: Output XML: If you are accessing them in a for-each construct, then the position() function gives you what you need: I have tried <xsl:number> That is only for use in a single tree. and tried writing a function. But the problem is that since variables in xslt are constants, there is no way to increment a number, store it in a temp variable and increment it for the next time in xslt 2.0 unlike procedural languages like C or C++. Correct, but you have blinders on thinking that is the way to approach the problem. Is there any other way of achieving this in XSLT 2.0? It depends on how you are accessing your 5 input files. The following would work if this is the way you are doing it: <xsl:for-each select="('a.xml','b.xml','c.xml','d.xml','e.xml')">
<xsl:result-document href="{replace(.,'\.','out.')}">
<car seq="{position()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="doc(.)"/>
...Or something like: <xsl:for-each select="('a.xml','b.xml','c.xml','d.xml','e.xml')">
<xsl:variable name="seq" select="position()"/>
<xsl:result-document href="{replace(.,'\.','out.')}">
<xsl:for=each select="doc(.)">
<car seq="{$seq}">
...(both untested, so please forgive any typos) I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . .
