RE: Replacing double quotes with XSLT [faked-from][sls]

 Try assigning the apostrophe to a variable, and tne using the variable:

<xsl:variable name=APOS>&apos;</xsl:variable>
...
 "translate(../@OrganizationCode,$APOS,'B'"/>

Even when trying to replace with the " with a single character it does
not work.

Example

 <xsl:element name = "OrganizationCode">
        <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select =
 "translate(../@OrganizationCode,'\"','B'"/>
        <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
 </xsl:element>

[ James Paul]

I'm trying to replace " within a string in XSLT and replace it with ""
but I'm not having any luck.

Does NOT work

<xsl:element name = "OrganizationCode">
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select =
"translate(../@OrganizationCode,'\"','\"\"'"/>
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:element>

Does NOT work

<xsl:element name = "OrganizationCode">
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select =
"translate(../@OrganizationCode,'&#x22','&#x22&#x22'"/>
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:element>

Does anyone have any suggestions ???


Both methods fail because translate() replaces one character with
another single character.  You have to write a recursive template - it
is not hard.  See Dave Pawson's FAQ pages, especially
