Hi
I want to highlight (make it bold) a word in some text I'm getting in XML
format. My plan was to replace the word with a bold (or span) tag with the
word within the tag. I've found the code below and it works fine as long
as I'm not adding tags around the to parameter. Can anyone explain to me
why it doesn't work with tags? And it needs to be XSLT 1.0.
This works: X<xsl:value-of select="'little steak'"/>X
This doesn't work: <b><xsl:value-of select="'little steak'"/></b>
And the code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<!-- reusable replace-string function -->
<xsl:template name="replace-string">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="from"/>
<xsl:param name="to"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains( $text, $from)">
<xsl:variable name="before" select="substri ng-before($text, $from)"/>
<xsl:variable name="after" select="substri ng-after($text, $from)"/>
<xsl:variable name="prefix" select="concat( $before, $to)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$before "/>
<xsl:value-of select="$to"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$after"/>
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="$from"/>
<xsl:with-param name="to" select="$to"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwis e>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<!-- test the function -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
<xsl:with-param name="text"
select="'Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb.'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="'little lamb'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="to">
<!-- X<xsl:value-of select="'little steak'"/>X -->
<b><xsl:value-of select="'little steak'"/></b>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You are using <xsl:value-of select="$to"/>, that outputs a text node
with the string value, it does not create elements.
If you use xsl:copy-of as in
<xsl:template name="replace-string">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="from"/>
<xsl:param name="to"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains( $text, $from)">
<xsl:variable name="before" select="substri ng-before($text, $from)"/>
<xsl:variable name="after" select="substri ng-after($text, $from)"/>
<xsl:variable name="prefix" select="concat( $before, $to)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$before "/>
<xsl:copy-of select="$to"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$after"/>
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="$from"/>
<xsl:with-param name="to" select="$to"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when <xsl:otherwis e>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/ </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose </xsl:template>
then I think you get what you want.

Thanks. Both your suggestions worked. Now I'm working on making the search
case-insensitive. Is there an easy way? Or can you guide me in the right
direction?

Hello Hvid,
Ok. Now I can replace the search string no matter what case it's in. Unfortunately
I haven't found a way to keep the original case of the search sting in the
text. Anyone? Here's my code:
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:variable name="lcletters ">abcdefghijklm nopqrstuvwxyz</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="ucletters ">ABCDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVWXYZ</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template name="replace-string">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="from"/>
<xsl:param name="to"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains( translate($text , $ucletters, $lcletters), translate($from ,
$ucletters, $lcletters))">
<xsl:variable name="before" select="substri ng-before(translat e($text,
$ucletters, $lcletters), translate($from , $ucletters, $lcletters))"/>
<xsl:variable name="after" select="substri ng-after(translate ($text, $ucletters,
$lcletters), translate($from , $ucletters, $lcletters))"/>
<xsl:variable name="prefix" select="concat( $before, $to)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$before "/>
<xsl:copy-of select="$to"/>
<xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="$after"/>
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="$from"/>
<xsl:with-param name="to" select="$to"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwis e>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="'Mary had a little lamb, LITTLE LAMB,
x little lamb.'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="from" select="'little lamb'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="to">
<!-- X<xsl:value-of select="'little steak'"/>X -->
<b>
<xsl:value-of select="'little steak'"/>
</b>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

Hi,
I know this has been asked before, but reading the threads it is still not
entirely clear.
Deciding which .Replace( ) to use when.
Typically if I create a string in a loop I always use a StringBuilder. At
present I am
porting a VB6 webclass app to VB.NET and therefore I am trying to make it as
efficent as possible via the new functionality of VB.NET.

Hi Newsgroup,
I have given an answer in this newsgroup about a "Replace".
There came an answer on that I did not understand, so I have done some
tests.
I got the idea that someone said, that the split method and the
regex.replace method was better than the string.replace method and replace
function. I did not believe that.
