Replace function?

36 New Member
Hi Guys

I hope this is a simple one for you.

I am basically displaying data onto my xml page using the following line of code:

<xsl:value-of select="carmanu facturer" />

An example of the resulting output would be, "Ford"

However, the "carmanufacture r" field in my table sometimes contains 2 words, for example, "Land Rover". Thus, the resulting output is, "Land Rover".

The output on my page is also hyperlinked and so the code is as follows:

<a class="type1" href="http://www.mywebsite.c o.uk/{carmanufacture r}.asp"><xsl:va lue-of select="carmanu facturer" /></a>

The problem I have is that for the hyperlink url I would like to replace the spaces between the 2 words with a "-". Thus my link would point to:

http://www.mywebsite.c o.uk/Land-Rover.asp

I have tried using something like this "<xsl:value-of select="replace (carmanufacture r, ' ', '-')" />" but I get the following error:

-------------error----------------
msxml3.dll error '80004005'

'replace' is not a valid XSLT or XPath function. -->replace(carman ufacturer, ' ', '-')<--
--------------error end------------

Looking at various forums they say this error occurs because I have XSLT 1.0 and not XSLT 2.0 but I am unsure what version I've got. If the code I am using should work then I assume that I have version 1.0??? However, I do not know what code I need to use to make this work.

Any ideas would be fully appreciated.

Best regards

Hi folks, We have a need to replace sub strings in certain message text. We use the Office Assistant to display help and often use the imbedded formatting commands.

This all works great if the user is running the...
