Note Submitter: Tom ---- The missing string-replace function in XSLT 1.0 is an all-time classic. You may either use PHP's str_replace function or (if you wish to stay language-independent) use an XSLT 1.0 implementation: <xsl:template name="str_replace"> <xsl:param name="subject"/> <xsl:param name="search"/> <xsl:param name="replace"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($subject, $search)"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($subject, $search)"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$replace"/> <xsl:call-template name="str_replace"> <xsl:with-param name="subject" select="substring-after($subject, $search)"/> <xsl:with-param name="search" select="$search"/> <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$subject" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> This template is to be called as follows: <xsl:call-template name="str_replace"> <xsl:with-param name="subject">The string being searched and replaced on, otherwise known as the haystack.</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="search">The value being searched for, otherwise known as the needle.</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="replace">The replacement value that replaces found search values.</xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template>
