I think the most recent version is 1.14, but I don't think it affects what
you're trying to do.
<xmltask source="test.xml">
<copy path="count(/module/name/text())" property="name.count"/>
</xmltask>
<echo>Count = ${name.count}</echo>
will do the job and write the correct value into 'name.count'. (the above
XPath expression is for my test file - please adapt for your scenario).
