Subject: [xsl] Processing Entity ' question From: "Greg Alvord" <Greg.Alvord@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2005 16:58:16 -0600 |
I have been pulling what is left of my hair out this morning. I hate to bother this group with such a simple question. I have looked in books and at FAQ Problem: An XML element content has a single quote in it, as in "Broker's ZIP". In the file is it properly represented with an internal entity. The XML looks like <LogicalFieldName>Broker's ZIP</LogicalFieldName> The <xsl:output> is set to text. I am writing SQL statements from the XML. In Oracle to represent the single quote as content you use three single quotes. For example WHERE FLDNAME=' Broker'''s ZIP'. I can not find the construction that will let me detect the existence of the single quite. Assume <xsl:varable name=myValue select="Broker's ZIP"/> The value is really pulled from the source document. Showing the variable content in StylusStudio debug shows the single quote is there. This construction works to find the 'r' <xsl:if test="string-length(string-before($myValue,'r'))>0"> I have tried <xsl:if test="string-length(string-before($myValue,'''))>0"> --- quoted quote and <xsl:if test="string-length(string-before($myValue,'''))>0"> quoted entity and <xsl:if test="string-length(string-before($myValue,'''))>0"> quoted character encode In each case it acts like there are missing end parenthesis, no doubt because the odd number of single quotes act like one quote. Any ideas? Greg
