Possible to save results of xdofx functions to variable?

Question

(10.1.3.3) Each of my CHAPTER4 rows has a SECTION_NUMBER such as 4.3.2. I'd like to format this header based on the depth of the section, or the number of periods + 1 (eg 4.3.2 is level 3). I'm having trouble figuring out how to set a variable and use it in either if statements or a choose. Below I strip out all the numbers using replaces and take the length of the string and add 1. but I cannot use xdofx functions in xdoxslt:
<?for-each:CHAPTER4_ROW?>
<!-- how do you get this value into a variable and use in choose or if ????? -->
<?xdofx:length(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(SECTION_NUMBER,’0’,’’),’1’,’’),’2’,’’),’3’,’’),’4’,’’),’5’,’’),’6’,’’),’7’,’’),’8’,’’),’9’,’’))+1?>
<?choose:?>
<?when:$x=1?>........<?end when?>
EDIT: I found out that you can use xdofx:if, but you cannot break out of the tag to do formatting. It has to be in the following syntax:
<?xdofx:if length(replace(FIELD,'0',''))=1 then 'output' else 'other output' end if?>
Would be nice if you could:
<?xdofx:if x=1 then?> output <? else ?> <? end if ?>
I get weird results when trying this.

Thanks for the reply.
We strictly want to use the CPU Profiling available out of the box JDeveloper. Is there a way to save / export the results into text / html / spreadsheet ?
