Using the tranlate() function

dumbrit · November 30th, 2005, 04:03 PM

Hi,
I am quite new to XSLT and new to forum!

I would like to use the translate() function to change every occurance of the word 'in' to the word 'out' in every element tag and attribute.

The source document is irrelavent, as I'd like it work with any source document that is given.
I'm sure this is quite an easy task, but I am at a loss!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dom.

OK, I realise now that you cant do this, so all I'd like to do is replace every occurance of the letter 'i' with 'o' in every attribute and tag of an xml document.

If anyone could point me in the direction of how to tackle this, that would be great.

Thanks,
Dom.

That's not what the translate() function does, you'll need to find a different way.

Use the replace() function in XSLT 2.0, or look up "replace" in Dave Pawson's FAQ at www.dpawson.co.uk.
