Subject: RE: [xsl] How to remove all non-alphanumerics?
My first thought was to use translate(), but the second
argument would have to contain every possible character I
want to remove, which seems pretty unwieldy.
There's a trick to this:
translate($x, translate($x, 'abcde', ''), '')
will remove all characters except a,b,c,d, and e from your string $x.
