Help please. I'm new to WordPress. What I'd like to do is to display some text like this on my single post page:
"You are reading post number X of Y in this category"
where "X" is the number of the current post and "Y" is the total number of posts in the current category. I haven't been able to find a plug-in to help with this.
Any advice/help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I too would like to know ... even if it's not possible, at least telling us this would save us time from looking online for it (which I've wasted days doing now).
i think what you are actually looking for is a pagination plugin. because what you are saying is actually like saying "page 3/5".
so look for pagination plugin, and stick it to your categories template(s).
good luck!

Hi snetman,
I've just posted something that may get your 'Y' (total number of posts for a single category). It's at
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/12805?replies=5#post-424730
(To get your 'X' (ordinal for a single post within its category) you may improve the function querying the mySQL DB for the position of the required post in a list of posts ordered by date.)
Have a good day,
hip
