Hi,
I'm probably going about this the wrong way, but I have a C string in a
variable that I want to escape the backslashes and double-quotes prior to
output.  ie. foo\bar"xxx -> foo\\bar\"xxx
I figured I could use the XPath contain and substring functions to do what I
want, but I can't find a way to iterate until there are no more characters
of interest.  Can this be done in XSL/XPath?

See http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/chapters/ch17.html#d0e31428
particularly example 17-5 for an example of how to do iterative like things in XSLT.
