Yes that's not really the problem, the problem is that my text() returns
nothing, so nothing can be replaced.

how is the euro character represented in your document ?
It never matters how the source document is encoded, all such matters
are resolved by the XML parser before XSLT starts.
is it an entity (e.g. I think its numeric entity is &128;) if so u might
have to;
Numeric character references are not entity references (they refer to
characters not entities) the number for Euro is 8364 not 128.
- try using numeric entity for replacement
You can use any XML syntax for that character in your stylesheet, a
numeric character reference, or if it is in the encoding used by the
stylesheet you may use character data directly.
- make sure your xml encoding is iso-8859-1 (or UTF-8)
iso-8859-1 doesn't have a euro, utf8 does. So if you use iso-8859-1
then you can't enter the euro directly, you'd have to use a character
reference.
You can use the character reference & # 8 3 6 4 ; in any encoding (so
long as the encoding includes the digits and the characters & # ;)you
can take a look at an xsl template that has
been tested over time at
exslt.org
http://www.exslt.org/str/functions/replace/index.html
Since the request was just to change one character by another, the
general replace template isn't needed you can just use the translate()
function.
