I am trying to grab text within quotes. XSLT is not being cooperative.
Does anyone have any tricks to grab the quote. I would expect it would see
the double quote in the single quote as 'text' and not a delimiter.
However, it sees it as a closing quote. I tried the 'old vi backslash
trick'but it didn't work.
There is no backslash escaping in XML/XPath.
Try
<xsl:variable name="name1">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after ($definition, '"')"/>
</xsl:variable>
BTW you could write this as
<xsl:variable name="name1" select="substring-after($definition, '"')"/>
