position(): Simplifying when possible

[Thomas Lehmann]

Hi,

is it possible to write last loop as one value-of statement?

[code]
                <!-- assume the 1st day in a month is monday: what day is the 15th? -->
                The 15th day is: <xsl:value-of select="str:tokenize($day-names, '|')[15 mod 7]"/><br/>
                <!-- assume the 1st day in a month is monday: what day is the 26th? -->
                The 26th day is: <xsl:value-of select="str:tokenize($day-names, '|')[26 mod 7]"/>
                <hr/>
                <!-- what position is wednesday? -->
                <xsl:for-each select="str:tokenize($day-names, '|')">
                    <xsl:if test=". = 'Wed'">
                        <xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
                    </xsl:if>
                </xsl:for-each>
[/code]

I found the answer;

[code]

                <!-- what position is wednesday? -->

                <xsl:value-of select="count(str:tokenize($day-names, '|')[.='Wed']/preceding-sibling::*)+1"/>
[/code]
