some years since I worked with perl and my regex skills have rusted.
Your problem isn't with regexp it's with XML.
<xsl:value-of select="replace(req-text,"\"","'")" />
The first system to see that is an XML parser which knows nothing of
xslt or xpath syntax so it looks like
<foo bar="zzzzz"z""z""z"z" />
Which is not a well formed element as you can't have literal " in a
"-delimited attribute value.
you want
replace() with three arguments:
the xpath req-text
the string "
the string '
so first make XPath strings for the second 2, so you need the xpath
expression
replace(req-text,'"','''')
(this uses XPath2 syntax '' for a ' in a '-delimited xpath string.)
now you need to get that in an XML attribute so you need to XML-quote
the " and use " to delimit the expression
select="replace(req-text,'"','''')"
