Re: xpath count function: this is a solution

[Majirus FANSI <ma...@yahoo.fr>]

Hi,
you must right your xpath count function like this:
xindice xpath -c /db/morpheus -q
count("//*/nodegroup[@appn='1']")
not
xindice xpath -c /db/morpheus -q
 "count(//*/nodegroup[@ppn='1'])" 
because xindice need to avaluate a nodeset between 
double quotes(""), you'll know remember that the
evaluated expression inside these double quotes must
be a nodeset not a number,
best regards,
