This MUST be possible...the case is HOW?
Like this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:variable name="Q">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="str">a'b'c'd</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="translate($str, $Q, '')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this transformation is applied on any source.xml (not
used) the wanted
result is produced:
abcd

Hi list!
I wanted to remove all the apostrophes ' from a string.
My first idea was using the translate function... i.e.
<xsl:value-of select='translate(@mystring,''','')'/>
Unfortunately this didn't work, I get the error.
ERROR: Required white space was missing.
So I thought that maybe using different quotes I would be
able to achieve
the result I was after, so I tried:
<xsl:value-of select='translate(@mystring,"'","")'/> and I
got the same
error as before.
<xsl:value-of select="translate(@mystring,''','')"/> ERROR:
Description:
Expected token ')' found 'STRING'.
At this point I thought...well, let's try using the unicode
number rather
than the symbol...
so I tried
<xsl:value-of select="translate(@mystring,''','')"/> ERROR:
Description: Expected token ')' found 'STRING'.
I tried a few more variations with the same frustraiting result...
At this point I had to accept the fact that ... this is
*probably* not the
way to achive what I want...
so after a quick search in the faq and the archives I
decided to ask to
the
list and see if anyone has
faced a similar situation in the past...
This MUST be possible...the case is HOW?
Regards,
Yago Alvarado
