Hi
    I am using the following code to remove the duplicates and also to count the number of duplicates...

<xsl:variable name="string" select="'Hello, Hello,
Hello, test, dog, cat, cat'" />

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="not(contains($string, ','))">
       <xsl:value-of select="$string" />
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:call-template name="remove-duplicates">
         <xsl:with-param name="string" select="translate($string, ' ', '')" />
         <xsl:with-param name="newstring" select="''" />
         <xsl:with-param name="count" select="1" />

       </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="remove-duplicates">
   <xsl:param name="string" />
   <xsl:param name="newstring" />
   <xsl:param name="count" />

   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="$string = ''">
       <xsl:value-of select="$newstring" />
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:if test="contains($newstring,substring-before($string, ','))">
         <xsl:call-template name="remove-duplicates">
           <xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, ',')" />
           <xsl:with-param name="newstring" select="$newstring" />
           <xsl:with-param name="count" select="1+$count" />
         </xsl:call-template>
       </xsl:if>
       <xsl:if test="not(contains($newstring, substring-before($string, ',')))">
         <xsl:variable name="temp">
           <xsl:if test="$newstring = ''">
             <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, ',')" />
             <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
             <xsl:value-of select="$count" />
           </xsl:if>
           <xsl:if test="not($newstring = '')">
         <xsl:value-of select="concat($newstring, ',', substring-before($string, ','))" />
             <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
             <xsl:value-of select="$count" />
           </xsl:if>
         </xsl:variable>
         <xsl:call-template name="remove-duplicates">
           <xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, ',')" />
           <xsl:with-param name="newstring" select="$temp" />
           <xsl:with-param name="count" select="1" />
         </xsl:call-template>
       </xsl:if>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>



I am getting the following Output

Hello-1, test-3, dog-1, cat-1

But my desired output is

Hello-3, test-1, dog-1, cat-2

Can anybody help me to achieve this....
