Manipulating a variable in XSLT

[GoguLKS]

Hi,

I am trying to manipulate a XSLT variable. Manipulating is replacing the string value in it.

My XML file looks like:
<root>
<item name="PageTitle">
<value>Screen Page<value/>
</item>
<item name="PageHeader">
<value>&lt;cmroot id="jsample_screenpage"&gt;
&lt;cattributes&gt;
&lt;cmnode id="hair" type="string" hasParseData="true"&gt;black&lt;/cmnode&gt;
&lt;cmnode id="color" type="string" hasParseData="true"&gt;wheat&lt;/cmnode&gt;
&lt;/cattributes&gt;
&lt;/cmroot&gt;</value>
</item>
</root>

Could any one help me to replace the &lt; and &gt; with < and >

or

Help me to read the value of "id" and the cmnode value black and wheat from the xml file tru XSLT.

Regards,
GoguL

Does disable-output-escaping work for you?
<xsl:value-of select="value" disable-output-escaping="yes">

Thanks for replying.

Yes it works for me, I am able to get all those to a variable. Could you help to find how to parse the variable and get the replicant values.

Hi Young,

Not sure whether my previous message is clear. So explaining again. After using that disable-output-escaping="yes" I am taking those data to an XSL-Variable. So the variable var has following data:

<cmroot id="jsample_screenpage"> <cattributes> <cmnode id="hair" type="string" hasParseData="true">black</cmnode> <cmnode id="color" type="string" hasParseData="true">wheat</cmnode> </cattributes> </cmroot>

Now I need to take the value of all cmnode id value and the data of cmnode. The problem I am facing is not able to retrive the replicant data from the variable.

If you could clarify this, that would be great.

Normally, if you were passed that string as xml, you could run an apply-templates on it, and have a template for cmnode. eg:

<xsl:template match="cmnode">
  <xsl:value-of select="@id">,<xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
</xsl:template>

You probably need a node-set function, eg

<xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($var)" xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"/>
