Apply it to $old and $new at the time you declare the variables, then
<xsl:variable name="f" select="translate(., '/', '\')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($f,$old)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$new"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($f,$old)"/>

Subject: Re: [xsl] How to substitute a portion of the text
value of an element
The difficulty I guess is knowing when to apply the translate.
Ken's code above in the thread:
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(.,$old)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$new"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(.,$old)"/>
</xsl:copy>
needs to have the substring-before work if the slashes in
$old and the slashes in the . are different. Perhaps I need
to first translate all occurrences to some canonical form
before I do the substring-before or substring-after test if
that is possible.

translate(.,'\','/')
