nice xslt!

Nice post.
I have written a string replace template too.

Thanks a bunch for posting this - a software I'm using doesn't have the XSLT2 engine and I had to implement this functionality quickly in version 1 compliant code.

Thank you for your post!!

Very good example for String replace...

Man you saved my life!!! Thanx a lot!!!

Thank you, very good... but what if I want to replace only the first occurrence?

To only replace the first occurrence, simply take out the recursion call. Something like this:

<xsl:template name="string-replace-all">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="replace"/>
<xsl:param name="by"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, $replace)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$replace)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$by"/>
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,$replace)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Thanks - that almost made life easy for me until I realized that all i needed for my particular case was the translate() function! So if anyone else sees this post and uses xslt too infrequently to remember how to do really basic things - translate will replace any instances of EACH CHARACTER with another, so it's good for single char stuff like stripping slashes!

Just wanted to say : thank you :-)

How can we use above function to replace a quote (") by \" in given string.

how do we use above function to replace blank by <br> or next line? Pls let me know.

why is the code not available for copy/paste????

Bitmaps? for code? Hello? Are you sane?

Dude Code Looks good but Need to be able to copy pate...gr8 work and help though ...u are a life saver

thank you

And here the whole stuff for copy-and-paste:

<xsl:template name="string-replace-all">
<xsl:param name="text" />
<xsl:param name="replace" />
<xsl:param name="by" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, $replace)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$replace)" />
<xsl:value-of select="$by" />
<xsl:call-template name="string-replace-all">
<xsl:with-param name="text"
select="substring-after($text,$replace)" />
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace" />
<xsl:with-param name="by" select="$by" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

A simple code for a great solution. Many thanks man.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
