Hello All,

 

I have a fairly large XML file similar to this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<products>

    <product>ACME Wid Assbly</product>

    <product>Ford Eng Rebuild Kit</product>

</products>

 

I want to do an identity transform except that I want to do some find and
replace on some of the words. For example

 

Wid = Widget

Assbly = Assembly

Eng = Engine

 

I am thinking of creating a lookup XML file to drive the find/replace
actions:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<lookup>

    <entry find="\bWid\b" replace="Widget"/>

    <entry find="\bAssbly\b" replace="Assembly"/>

    <entry find="\bEng\b" replace="Engine"/>

</lookup>

 

I am having trouble figuring out a good XSLT 2 or 3 algorithm for actually
doing the replacements. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

 

Rick
