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?
In XSLT 1.0 you would have to use recursion as the translate() function
can only a single character with another single character. In XSLT 2.0
you can use Xpath 2.0's replace() function which allows you to use
regex's. For example to replace all occurances of " with \" you could
use:
replace(.,'"','\\"')
which is a lot nicer than a long winded choose/when :)
