I have tried this template:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:ati="http://www.asiatype.com/xslt-functions";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs ati">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template name="start">
<xsl:variable name="input-str" as="xs:string" select="'This is
supposed to be my input string with search1, search2, and search3. There
is another search1.'"/>
<xsl:variable name="search-str" as="xs:string*"
select="('search1','search2','search3')"/>
<xsl:variable name="replace-str" as="xs:string*"
select="('replace1','replace2','replace3')"/>
<p><xsl:sequence select="ati:tag($input-str, $search-str,
$replace-str)"/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="ati:tag" as="node()+">
<xsl:param name="input-str" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:param name="search-str" as="xs:string*"/>
<xsl:param name="replace-str" as="xs:string*"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="exists($search-str)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($input-str,
$search-str[1])"/>
<replacement value="{$replace-str[1]}"><xsl:sequence
select="$search-str[1]"/></replacement>
<xsl:sequence select="ati:tag(substring-after($input-str,
$search-str[1]),remove($search-str,1),remove($replace-str,1))"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$input-str"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And got this output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p>This is supposed to be my input string with <replacement
value="replace1">search1</replacement>, <replacement
value="replace2">search2</replacement>, and <replacement
value="replace3">search3</replacement>. There is another search1.</p>
My template will only tag the first occurrence of the search string,
because i'm using substring-before and substring-after approach. Also, i
want to avoid placing mark-ups to the search string that is already
marked-up. Example i don't want this to happen.
<p>This is supposed to be my input string with <replacement
value="replace1"><replacement
value="replace1">search1</replacement></replacement>, <replacement
value="replace2">search2</replacement>, and <replacement
value="replace3">search3</replacement>. There is another <replacement
value="replace1">search1</replacement>.</p>
That's why i don't want to loop back to the start of the string. I was
thinking of using this, '<replacement
value="replace1">search1</replacement>', as the replacement string and
then just us d-o-e, but i want to avoid using d-o-e because there might
be part of the string that i don't want to do d-output-e.
Is there any alternative solution to this?

Hi,
I have this function (thanks to sir M. Kay) that search and replaces
all occurrences of a sequence of search string with its corresponding
replacement string.
<xsl:function name="ati:replace-all">
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:param name="words-to-replace" as="xs:string*"/>
<xsl:param name="replacement" as="xs:string*"/>
<xsl:sequence select="if (exists($words-to-replace)) then
ati:replace-all(replace($input, $words-to-replace[1],
$replacement[1]),remove($words-to-replace,1),remove($replacement,1))
else $input"/>
</xsl:function>
Can this be modified so that I can place the search string inside an
element and the replacement string inside an attribute?
I have this as a sample:
<p>This is supposed to be my input string with search1, search2, and
search3.</p>
I want this to be:
<p>This is supposed to be my input string with <replacement
value="replacement1">search1</replacement>, <replacement
value="replacement2">search2</replacement>, and <replacement
value="replacement3">search3</replacement>.</p>
Thanks,
Jeff
