I am trying to wrap specific text in a string within HTML tags. For example, if a strings contains the word "Note:", then I want to enclose this word within a set of bold tags (<b>Note:</b>). I do not have control over the XML data source and cannot modify the structure/schema. The replace() function only works with strings, not with nodes. The variable contains the text wrapped within the HTML tags. Unfortunately, only the content within the variable is getting pulled and the HTML tags are being ignored. Correct ... because the arguments to replace() are cast to strings. Can anyone tell me how to get the tags added as well during the search and replace? By analyzing the string rather than using replace. XML excerpt: <Row> <ReleaseNote>Before: The application did this. Now: The application does this. Note: The application may also do this.</ReleaseNote> </Row> <Row> <ReleaseNote>Before: The application did not do this. Now: The application does this.</ReleaseNote> </Row> This is an incorrect approach because you are matching *all* text nodes in the *entire* document and doing the replace on *every* piece of text you have. I hope the example below helps ... you have a very straightforward requirement because you are only wrapping text with a bold element node, not massaging the text. . . . . . . . . . . .
