Hello, I am converting XML data into csv format. When I do this I need to add a counter to each of the addresses lines of a client (One client may contain more than one address). Is there a way I can call a template name with a counter where by each call will be initiated with (counter + 1)? Thanks Suresh

If each address line his held as a child element of client i.e. <client> <address></address> <address></address> <address></address> <address></address> </client> then you can just use the position() function to get a sequential number.

Hi Andy, I need to do bit different. If I use your example and assuming that I have 2 addresses for a client, the XML will look like following: <client> <address>Street1</address> <address>City1</address> <address>Prov1</address> <address>PC1</address> </client> <client> <address>Street2</address> <address>City2</address> <address>Prov2</address> <address>PC2</address> </client> I need to translate this to Street1|City1|Prov1|PC1|1 Street2|City2|Prov2|PC2|2 Thanks Suresh

Hi, You can get the count in the following way... <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*) + number(1)" /> Basically, all the <Client> tags belogs to same parent. So we are using the sibling concept here. -- Sree
