xml line numbering issue

[NirvanaX]

i have to convert some xml information to text. The critical issue i have is that my template instantiation requires me to add extra text information to the text file. For example suppose my xml document looks like this:
<Dir Path="..">
<File>xyz.xml</File>
</Dir>
<Dir Path="C:\Temp">
<Wildcard>*.xml</Wildcard>
</Dir>

and i need to check for this node which i do using <xsl:template match="Dir"> and after the XSL processor instantiates this template i need to write text to my basic text file like this

1. Type="Dir"
2. Path="C:\Temp">
3. File=xyz.xml
4. EOD ( means end of dir )
5. Type="Dir"
6. Path="C:\Temp">
7. Wildcard= *.xml
8. EOD ( means end of dir )

when i wrote a transformation using xsl:number or xsl:value-of select="position()" and used count for any level, it counts based on nodes so it says

1. Type="Dir"
1. Path="C:\Temp">
1. File=xyz.xml
1. EOD ( means end of dir )

for the first template match and the next template match would give:
2. Type="Dir"
2. Path="C:\Temp">
2. Wildcard=*.xml
2. EOD ( means end of dir )

My question is how do i get the 1.2.3.4 format numbering format for the added text for each template? i use <xsl:text> to add text for each node type. Any inputs on this is very much appreciated!

Thanks

How about this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">[/URL]
  <xsl:output method="text"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*/Dir"/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="Dir">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat((position()*4)-3, '. Type=&#34;Dir&#34;&#010;')"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat((position()*4)-2, '. Path=&#34;', @Path, '&#34;&#010;')"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat((position()*4)-1, '. ', name(*), '=', *, '&#010;')"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat(position()*4, '. EOD&#010;')"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
