This is simple template to replace hyphen with underscore in 'name'
attribute of some element;
<xsl:template name="ReplaceHyphenWithUnderscore">
<xsl:analyze-string select="@name" regex="-">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:text>_</xsl:text>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>
Your code will be most versatile (reusable) if you write it as a function to
operate on any string.
<xsl:function name="f:ReplaceHyphenWithUnderscore" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:analyze-string select="$input" regex="-">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:text>_</xsl:text>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>
Then you can write, for example
<xsl:template match="xsd:element[<some condition here>]">
<xsl:value-of name="f:ReplaceHyphenWithUnderscore(@name)"/>
(...)
</xsl:template>
Having said that, this particular operation can be achieved by a single call
of translate():
<xsl:function name="f:ReplaceHyphenWithUnderscore" as="xs:string">
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:sequence select="translate($in, '-', '_')"/>
</xsl:template>
