Hello.
  Does anybody know what xsl file can take this:

<rows>
  <row>
      <name>John</name>
      <otherName/>
  </row>
  <row>
      <name>Paul</name>
      <otherName/>
  </row>
  <row>
      <name>Ringo</name>
      <nickName>ClassCastException</nickName>
  </row>
  <row>
      <name>George</name>
      <otherName/>
  </row>
</rows>

and turn it into this?

1-John
2-Paul
3-Ringo
4-ClassCastException
5-George

This problem is so simple, that it doesn't ever need <xsl:number/>:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output method="text"/>

	<xsl:template match="/">
	  <xsl:for-each select=
	     "*/*/*[self::name or self::nickName]">
	
	     <xsl:value-of select=
	       "concat('&#xA;', position(), '-', .)"/>
	  </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
