I need to copy an xml document and replace the double quotes that surround attribute values with single quotes.

From: <?xml version="1.0"?>

To: <?xml version='1.0'?>

Not possible with msxml, what parsers/processors can you use?
Strictly speaking it shouldn't matter so is outside of the XSLT domain. You could parse the document as a straight text file and use regular expressions. You would also have to cope with single quotes within the value and replace these with

Code:

&apos;

Why do you need to do this, sounds abit mis-guided?

The reason is I need to read a small xml document onto a string using javascript. And my javascript didn't like the double quotes.

Ideally I would like to convert a node-set to string within the xslt.
