As I said, look in the FAQ under replace:

Michael,

I am trying to replace 1 single quote with 2 single quotes. 
Should it work in template ?

I do not have to option to upgrade to XSLT1.0 for many reasons.

Thank you,
Oleg.

The translate() function does one-to-one replacement of

do anything else, use the replace() function in XSLT 2.0, 
or look at 
the FAQ under "replace" to see how to do it under 1.0.

Hi,

I am writing an XSL Transformer for SQL query and some of 
the column 
values ("ASSOCIATION_NAME")  in DB might have a single 
quote in the 
name, which poses a problem in SQL.

Example:

<xsl:text>  ...
(SELECT association_id
FROM ASSOCIATION
WHERE association_name='</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of
select='$row/sht:Cell[sht:Name="ASSOCIATION_NAME"]/sht:Content
'/><xsl:text>'
) )</xsl:text>...

like: "MACY'S"
So I tried to use to replace 1 single quote in the column values 
with
2 single quotes
which SQL should resolve using translate(value, "'", "''").
But there is such a mishmash of quotes and double quotes 
that it's 
impossible to resolve:
...
<xsl:value-of select='translate(
$row/sht:Cell[sht:Name="ASSOCIATION_NAME"]/sht:Content, '"", 
"'''")'/>

Any way around it, maybe via ASCII of single quotes ?


Thank you in advance,
Oleg.
