My main question is the correct way to use replace() to remove special
characters and spaces that appear in document titles. Some I just want
to remove and others I want to translate to something else.
I have this much working <xsl:function name="ping:gen_id"> <xsl:param name="INSTRING"/> <xsl:value-of select="translate(replace(lower-case($INSTRING), ' ', '_'), ':()','')"/> </xsl:function> To the replace I wanted to add the ' character to replace with nothing. I tried adding \' \\' &apo; '' to no avail. This iss a sample of a string I'm trying to modify: "Step 9: Create the application's resource access grant" So I asked coPilot what should be done and it came up with: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="inputString" select="'This is a string with a single quote: 'example''" /> <xsl:variable name="outputString" select="translate($inputString, '', '')" /> <xsl:value-of select="$outputString" /> </xsl:template> This throws a different error around creating the inputString. Unexpected token name "example" beyond end of expression Which leads to the other part of my question about how you would create a string variable with an ' in the content. I imagine it will be the same answer, but wanted to post this for completion of the question. ..dan
