General counting question: finding max
Subject: General counting question: finding max From: Gert Bultman <g.w.bultman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000 11:55:21 +0000 |
Using count() it is easy to count the number of nodes from a certain part of an xmltree. I would like to find the length of the longest chain of <x>'s in the following document: <a><x/<x/></a> <a><x/></a> <a><x/><x/><x/><x/></a> for-each a do count(x)is the easy part. I could save all the counted numbers in a long string and then find the maximum by recursively unpacking the string (as has been demonstrated in this list). However, I have a feeling that there must be an easier way, but I cannot think of it. First task is to only find the length of the longest series, next step is to remember at which <a> that occurred :-) Any help?
