I am trying to dynamically create a *nix compatible file path by
pulling information off of database tables. A number of resulting
paths have special characters that need to be escaped to be considered
valid file paths. The path below is an example of what I am dealing
with
/data/Sites/3218AD Eland's Bay/Bobbejaansberg/BB15/
For path above to be valid in *nix, I need to escape 'spaces', 'single
quote' with 'backslash' to get output below
/data/Sites/3218AD\ Eland\'s\ Bay/Bobbejaansberg/BB15/
I've been trying to play around with the 'replace' function and
'disable-output-escaping', but can't seem to make it work --see
snippet below.
<xsl:value-of select="replace(replace(replace(replace(replace($filename,
' ', '\ '), '\(', '\('), ')', '\)'), '[',
'\['), ']', '\]')" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
How do I escape the special characters in my dynamically created path?
