I have following code:
<xsl:if test="#class = 'abc' and name(.) = 'span'">
<xsl:call-template name="multiReplace">
<xsl:with-param name="pText" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
The template "multiReplace" is finding old value and replacing new values.
I want to replace the following span text with NewText text :
<span class="abc">Old:</span>
to
<span class="abc">NewText:</span>
but I am getting :
<span class="abc">Old:NewText:</span>
below is the other related code:
<my:params xml:space="preserve">
<pattern>
<old>Old: </old>
<new>NewText:</new>
</pattern>
<pattern>
<old>Contact</old>
<new>Phone</new>
</pattern>
</my:params>
<xsl:variable name="vPats" select="document('')/*/my:params/*"/>
<xsl:template name="multiReplace">
<xsl:param name="pText" select="."/>
<xsl:param name="pPatterns" select="$vPats"/>
<xsl:if test="string-length($pText) > 0">
<xsl:variable name="vPat" select="$vPats[starts-with($pText, old)][1]"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not($vPat)">
<xsl:copy-of select="substring($pText,1,1)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="$vPat/new/node()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:call-template name="multiReplace">
<xsl:with-param name="pText" select="substring($pText, 1 + not($vPat) + string-length($vPat/old/node()))"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Can you please take a look, what is the error here?

I have this request coming in xml. Its a CDATA
<cmd>
<![CDATA[HG<><><36.75><0420>< ><HS6011201700446279><><>< >< >< ><><>< ><>< >< ><>< ><>< ><>]]>
</cmd>
I need to extract HS6011201700446279 from the cdata path.
Following is the regex they gave. How to use this in xsl
HG<\\s*><\\s*><.*><.*><.*><[A-Z]{2}(\\d{10,}).*
There is no regex support in XSLT 1.0. Assuming that the sub-string you want is within the 6th "tag" of the given string, you could extract it by calling a recursive named template:
<xsl:template match="cmd">
<result>
<xsl:call-template name="get-Nth-value">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="."/>
<xsl:with-param name="N" select="6"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</result>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="get-Nth-value">
<xsl:param name="list"/>
<xsl:param name="N"/>
<xsl:param name="delimiter" select="'><'"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$N = 1">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(concat($list, $delimiter), $delimiter)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="contains($list, $delimiter) and $N > 1">
<!-- recursive call -->
<xsl:call-template name="get-Nth-value">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="substring-after($list, $delimiter)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="N" select="$N - 1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delimiter" select="$delimiter"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I hope someone can help me with this...
I am using SharePoint 2013 and trying to render a CQWP to show the latest blog posts. The problem I have is that when displaying the 'content' from the post I get ' ' added and quotes are shown as '"'. I have managed to strip the HTML mark up but can't seem to get rid of these.
My code is as follows - any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Use function of XSLT
normalize-space()
**<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/>**
White space is normalized by stripping leading and trailing white space and replacing sequences of white space characters with a single space. If the argument is omitted, the string-value of the context node is normalized and returned.

but i have a special case in the same document as below xml states.
<primaryie>
<content-style font-style="bold">VIRRGIN system</content-style> 7.204, 7.205
</primaryie>
here when i'm applying the above template it is working with content-style, but i want it to work also with numberstolink template.
the outputs are as below.
current:
<div class="primaryie"><span class="font-style-bold">Virgin Islands Special Trust Act (VISTA) 9.077</span></div>
expexted:
<div class="primaryie"><span class="font-style-bold">Virgin Islands Special Trust Act (VISTA) 9.077</span></div>
Please change this below portion in your code
<xsl:template match="primaryie">
<div class="primaryie">
<xsl:apply-templates select="content-style"/>
<xsl:if test="contains(current(), '.')">
<xsl:variable name="numberString" select="substring(current(), string-length(substring-before(current(),'.'))-1)"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="numbersToLink">
<xsl:with-param name="numbersString" select="$numberString"></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</div>
</xsl:template>
Use only Current() instead of Current()/Text()
Output for give XML is
<div class="primaryie">VIRRGIN system 7.204, 7.205</div>
i am converting an html form to xml sequence, i am using a recursive function to achieve this
so the input to param "list" will be of the form
name=value&name=value&name=value
The template below does this fine and returns an xml sequence as follows
<name>value</name><name>value</name><name>value</name>
Ok so the problem
some of the name value pairs are special and i would like to add a attribute to them so the output would be
<name>value</name><name attr="special">value</name><name>value</name>
so to do this i have an external xml file with a list of special names as follows
<settings><google><option from="color"/><option from="size"/></google></settings>
So if we assume i have a xsl variable $SETTINGS connected to this external document above
<xsl:for-each select="$SETTINGS/google/option"></xsl:for-each>
Should be node with 2 children 1 called color and the other size
wot i want to do is if 1 of these children names = $name add the attribute
something like <xsl:if test="$name = $SETTINGS/google/option/ckild name">
<xsl:template name="tokenize">
<xsl:param name="list"/>
<xsl:variable name="seperator" select="'&'"/>
<xsl:variable name="first" select="substring-before(concat($list, $seperator), $seperator)"/>
<xsl:variable name="butfirst" select="substring-after($list, $seperator)"/>
<xsl:variable name="name" select="normalize-space(substring-before($first, '='))"/>
<xsl:variable name="value" select="normalize-space(substring-after($first, '='))"/>
<xsl:if test="string-length($name)>0 and string-length($value)>0">
<xsl:element name="{$name}">
<xsl:for-each select="$SETTINGS/google/option">
-----> <xsl:if test="$name = $SETTINGS/google/option/ckild name">
<xsl:attribute name="option"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:value-of select="$value"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$butfirst">
<xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="$butfirst"/>
<xsl:with-param name="seperator" select="$seperator"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

I'm transforming my XSLT-stylesheets into documentation, and I want a rich experience within the comment nodes for each code-chunk, therefore I want to convert the following comment and output as xhtml:
String:
# This is a title with __bold__ text and *italic* #
This is just a normal line
- list point with some __bold__
- list point with a "link"[http://www.stackoverflow.com]
Wanted output:
<h1> This is a title with <strong>bold</strong> and <span>italic</span> </h1>
<p>This is a normal line</p>
<ul>
<li>list point with some <strong>bold</strong></li>
<li>list point with a link</li>
</ul>
I tried with a recursive function that uses xsl:analyze-string recursively from a ruleset, but can't find a solution that works really well.
Anyone have done this lately, or is there some frameworks out there that has functions to do this ?
thanx in advance! :)

With this input:
<text>
# This is a title with __bold__ text and *italic* #
This is just a normal line
- list point with some __bold__
- list point with a "link"[http://www.stackoverflow.com]
</text>
Output:
<h1> This is a title with
<strong>bold</strong> text and
<span>italic</span>
</h1>
<p>This is just a normal line</p>
<ul>
<li>list point with some
<strong>bold</strong>
</li>
<li>list point with a
link
</li>
</ul>
Note: Look how many templates are similar (they follow a pattern), so these could be parametrized. I didn't do that in this case because there seems to be more questions which need some sort of parser, so by the end of the week I will repost an answer implementing functional parser and parser combinators pattern that make very easy to write parsers (just writing its grammar rules).

when applied on this XML document (the provided text complicated with nested constructs and wrapped in an element):
<t># This is a title with __bold__ text and *italic* #
This is just a normal line
- list point with some __bold__
- list point with a __*"link"[http://www.stackoverflow.com]*__</t>
produces the wanted, correct output:
<h1> This is a title with <strong>bold</strong> text and <span>italic</span>
</h1>
<p>This is just a normal line</p>
<p/>
<ul>
<li> list point with some <strong>bold</strong>
</li>
<li> list point with a <strong>
<span>
link
</span>
</strong>
</li>
</ul>
Do note: The RegEx mechanism of XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 is adequate for solving this problem.
