I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds like you want
to output a string that includes U+0000 characters in your output.
This is hard, if not impossible, to do in XSLT because an XSLT
program is an XML document, and U+0000 is not a valid character in
an XML document.
See production 2 of the XML spec, which says:
Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] |
[#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]
I don't actually have a suggestion at the moment, since you can't
easily write a NUL character out using commandline `sed` or `perl`
eihter. (My suggestion would normally be to have XSLT output U+2400
instead, and then convert those to NUL using something like `sed` or
`perl`.)
I have some transforms that generate source code and window
reg files. The reg files include REG_DWORD and REG_MULTI_SZ
values. The xml input is required to setup defaults, the REG_DWORD
values aren't difficult to deal with when using integer input in the xml
as they require decimal to hex conversion. However the REG_MULTI_SZ
values are required to be a sequence of null-terminated strings,
terminated by an empty string (\0). So this ends up being a comma
separated list of bytes.
What is the most optimal way to produce such output in xslt?
