<!-- | |
ALTERNATIVE SEARCH & REPLACE | |
string: The text to be evaluated | |
replace: The character or string to look for in the above string | |
with: What to replace it with | |
Slightly more long winded approach if that's how you prefer to roll. | |
--> | |
<xsl:template name="string-replace"> | |
<xsl:param name="string" /> | |
<xsl:param name="replace" /> | |
<xsl:param name="with" /> | |
<xsl:choose> | |
<xsl:when test="contains($string, $replace)"> | |
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, $replace)" /> | |
<xsl:value-of select="$with" /> | |
<xsl:call-template name="string-replace"> | |
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string,$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="$string" /> | |
</xsl:otherwise> | |
</xsl:choose> | |
</xsl:template> | |
<!-- Example template call --> | |
<xsl:variable name="string-mod"> | |
<xsl:call-template name="string-replace"> | |
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="'This is a sample text : {replace} and {replace}'" /> | |
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="'{replace}'" /> | |
<xsl:with-param name="with" select="'{I've been replaced}" /> | |
</xsl:call-template> | |
</xsl:variable> | |
<!-- Output --> | |
<xsl:value-of select="string-mod" /> | |
<!-- Result: "This is a sample text : {I've been replaced} and {I've been replaced}" --> |
The with param tag is missing a [']. It should be: <xsl:with-param name="with" select="'{I've been replaced}'" />
