I have an XML in which the double quotes should be replaced with the string \".
eg:<root><statement1><![CDATA[<u>teset "message"here</u>]]></statement1></root>
so the output should be <root><statement1><![CDATA[<u>teset \"message\"here</u>]]></statement1></root>
Can anybody explain how to accomplish this?
I. XSLT 1.0 solution:
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"
cdata-section-elements="statement1"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:param name="pPattern">"</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="pReplacement">\"</xsl:param>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="statement1/text()" name="replace">
<xsl:param name="pText" select="."/>
<xsl:param name="pPat" select="$pPattern"/>
<xsl:param name="pRep" select="$pReplacement"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not(contains($pText, $pPat))">
<xsl:copy-of select="$pText"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="substring-before($pText, $pPat)"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="$pRep"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="pText" select=
"substring-after($pText, $pPat)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="pPat" select="$pPat"/>
<xsl:with-param name="pRep" select="$pRep"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the provided XML document:
<root>
<statement1><![CDATA[<u>teset "message"here</u>]]></statement1>
</root>
produces the wanted, correct result:
<root>
<statement1><![CDATA[<u>teset \"message\"here</u>]]></statement1>
</root>
II. XSLT 2.0 solution:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"
cdata-section-elements="statement1"/>
<xsl:param name="pPat">"</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="pRep">\\"</xsl:param>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="statement1/text()">
<xsl:sequence select="replace(.,$pPat, $pRep)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the same XML document (as above), the same correct result is produced:
<root>
<statement1><![CDATA[<u>teset \"message\"here</u>]]></statement1>
</root>
