Hi..
thank you. it works if i just use it for one character. can i put in more
than one character in the pattern variable at once? if i keep calling the
template, obviously i will get the string variable the number of i call the
template. so what do you suggest that i do if i have a string like this.

How do you replace characters in xslt.
i have a url string that may contain '?' , '&', and '='
i want to convert
? to %3f
= to %3d
& to %26
is there a good way to do this? i try using translate function but it
doesn't work that well. i've also tried writing a recursive template that
checks for all occurence of these characters and it doesnt seem to work.
any idea?
<xsl:template name="replace">
<xsl:param name="string" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="pattern" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="replacement" select="''"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$pattern != '' and $string != '' and
contains($string, $pattern)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, $pattern)"/>
<!--
Use "xsl:copy-of" instead of "xsl:value-of" so that users
may substitute nodes as well as strings for $replacement.
-->
<xsl:copy-of select="$replacement"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string,
$pattern)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="$pattern"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replacement" select="$replacement"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
