Re: [xsl] replacing of characters based on position

well, Its part of the requirement where i have replace 0 in place of '-', so 
that when we get this uuid back, we will replace '0' with '-'. 
         The reason of this mq is replacing - with 0 because - is not a right 
hexadecimal value. before droping this uuid in mq, i want to replace it with 0 
then once i get the response from mq i want to replace 0 with - so that i will 
make sure that uniqueness of uuid.

well, i am using xslt 2.0. i need the position based
replacement rather than regexp.
           The
reason is i want reverse back  '0' with -  later
at some point , so thaat i can guarente that same uuid is
going to be generated after reversal.

step1:550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 to
550e84000e29b041d40a7160446655440000


step2:550e84000e29b041d40a7160446655440000   to
550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

Bookkeeping (saving the positional data and later acting
upon this 
separately stored information) is quite cumbersome.
If you tell us why there need to be zeros in the middle of
the process, 
we might come up with an alternative solution that is less
expensive in 
terms of bookkeeping, such as:
- replacing '-' with a different unique character
- wrapping the whole uuid in a newly created element (by
virtue of 
xsl:analyze-string) so that its content may be treated
differently than 
the surroundings
- generating an element in lieu of '-' (also using
xsl:analyze-string)
- ...

Hi,
           I
have xsl
variable which holds the following uuid value
(550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000) which has
'-' at
9-14-19-24 positions.
        I want to go these
positons
9-14-19-24 and replace the characters '-' with
zero's.
         Is there
any function
such as replace(position values,character,replace
character)
available in xslt.



you should always say whether you are using xslt 1
or 2,
especially if asking about string handling,

do you actually need position based replace, (that
would be
easy using xslt 2 regexp, or only slightly more
verbose
using a mixture of substring and concat) but your
original
problem statement could be solved by
translate(.,'-','0')
