Replacing two possible strings in XSLT 1.0.

Aug 02, 2013 06:43 PM|codeaholic|LINK

Dang. Hard problem. I have been using <xsl:template name="string-replace-all"> template from http://geekswithblogs.net/Erik/archive/2008/04/01/120915.aspx to patch some old code that is tied to XSLT 1.0. It worked fine for a search and replace for one string, but now I have two possible string search and replaces and it is not working.

The problem is in the same XML element now, I also must search and replace <sup>®</sup> with something that makes sense, named a

or (R)

Anyone know how to do this...help ?

This is my code:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">


<xsl:template name="string-replace-all">
   <xsl:param name="text"/>
   <xsl:param name="replace"/>
   <xsl:param name="by"/>
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="contains($text,$replace)">
       <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$replace)"/>
       <xsl:value-of select="$by"/>
       <xsl:call-template name="string-replace-all">
         <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,$replace)"/>
         <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace"/>
         <xsl:with-param name="by" select="$by"/>
       </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:for-each select="RateV4Response/Package">
		<tr>
				<xsl:if test="count(/RateV4Response/Package) >= 2">
					<td><INPUT type="hidden" name="indvPackage"><xsl:value-of select="@ID"/></INPUT></td>
				</xsl:if>
				<xsl:if test="count(/RateV4Response/Package) = 1">

Re: Replacing two possible strings in XSLT 1.0.

hi codeaholic,

A very simple solution (that will work as long as your string value doesn't have spaces):

translate(normalize-space(translate('aa::bb::cc',':',' ')),' ',',')

1.translate ":' into " "

2.normalize-space() to collapse multiple whitespace characters into a single space " "

3.translate single spaces " " into ","

A more robust solution would be to use a recursive template:

<xsl:template name="replace-string">

    <xsl:param name="text"/>

    <xsl:param name="replace"/>

    <xsl:param name="with"/>

    <xsl:choose>

      <xsl:when test="contains($text,$replace)">

        <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$replace)"/>

        <xsl:value-of select="$with"/>

        <xsl:call-template name="replace-string">

          <xsl:with-param name="text"

select="substring-after($text,$replace)"/>

          <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace"/>

          <xsl:with-param name="with" select="$with"/>

        </xsl:call-template>

      </xsl:when>

      <xsl:otherwise>

        <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>

      </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

  </xsl:template>

You can use it like this:

<xsl:call-template name="replace-string">

  <xsl:with-param name="text" select="'aa::bb::cc'"/>

  <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="'::'" />

  <xsl:with-param name="with" select="','"/>

</xsl:call-template>

I already have a recursive Template. The problem is using it "twice". Not sure how to do it. It only seems to work once.

Anyway, I just gave up on this and went to asp.net code and modified the xml document in memory wither search and replace.
