[xsl] Multiple search and replace

Hi all,

I am trying to define multiple search and replace in style sheet.

Basically trying to convert [#x02010] (and other Unicode values) to their
corresponding values ‐ .

Below is what I am trying to do:


<xsl:template match="text()">
        <xsl:call-template name="_replace_string">
                <xsl:with-param name="string" select="."/>
                <xsl:with-param name="find" select="'[#'"/>
                <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="'&amp;#'"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="_replace_string">
                <xsl:param name="string" select="''"/>
                <xsl:param name="find" select="''"/>
                <xsl:param name="replace" select="''"/>
                        <xsl:choose>
                           <xsl:when test="contains($string,$find)">
                                <xsl:value-of
                                        
select="concat(substring-before($string,$find),$replace)"/>
                                <xsl:call-template
                                        name="_replace_string">
                                        <xsl:with-param name="string"
                                                
select="substring-after($string,$find)"/>
                                        <xsl:with-param name="find"
                                                select="$find"/>
                                        <xsl:with-param name="replace"
                                                select="$replace"/>
                                </xsl:call-template>
                           </xsl:when>
                                <xsl:otherwise>
                                          <xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
                                   </xsl:otherwise>
                        </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:template>



I have two questions in regard:

1. I am bound to define & as &amp; as XMLSpy giving an error "character is
grammatically unexpected". Is there other way of overcoming this issue and
get & in output.

2. I also need to replace "]" to  ";" for which I was trying to call the
another template with in <xml:template match="text()"> as below but doesn't
seems to be working.

                <xsl:param name="again_find" select="''"/>
                <xsl:param name="again_replace" select="''"/>


                                 <xsl:when test="contains($string,$again_find)">
                                        <xsl:value-of
                                                
select="concat(substring-before($string,$again_find),$again_replace)"/
>
                                        <xsl:call-template
                                                name="_replace_string">
                                                <xsl:with-param name="string"
                                                        
select="substring-after($string,$again_find)"/>
                                                <xsl:with-param 
name="again_find"
                                                        select="$again_find"/>
                                                <xsl:with-param 
name="again_replace"
                                                        
select="$again_replace"/>
                                        </xsl:call-template>
                                </xsl:when>-->
                                <xsl:otherwise>
                                          <xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
                                   </xsl:otherwise>
                        </xsl:choose>



Can we do multiple search and replaces in one named template or do I need to
define them all separately (I need to call all of them in one template
<xsl:template match="text()">).


Best,
