Replace decimal point with another value
Hi,
Is it possible to replace a decimal point with another value?
Input
<Element>1.2.3</Element>
Code:
<xsl:value-of select="replace(Element,'.', '_')"/>
Returns "___"
Desired HTML results
"1_2_3"
Thanks for the help.

Sorry but I don't believe you :)
What XSLT processor gives this result? Are you certain that Element contains what you think it does?

Use the translate function.
replace() uses regular expressions, in which "." matches any character. If you want to use replace, use "\." to match a period.

Ok..I got it.
I used:
<xsl:value-of select="replace(Element,'\W+', '_')"/>
Thanks Michael,
"\." does the trick also.
Thanks a bunch

Ok sorry I completely misread the post, I thought you were using the translate function [:)}. A trip to the opticians is in order.
Code:
translate(Element, '.', '_')
