Subject: Re: [xsl] Escaping special characters for *nix file path From: Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 13:41:47 +0100 |
Well, disable-output-escaping certainly won't help. That's all about XML escaping (using &) and will have no effect at all on backslash-escaping.I am trying to dynamically create a *nix compatible file path by pulling information off of database tables. A number of resulting paths have special characters that need to be escaped to be considered valid file paths. The path below is an example of what I am dealing with
/data/Sites/3218AD Eland's Bay/Bobbejaansberg/BB15/
For path above to be valid in *nix, I need to escape 'spaces', 'single quote' with 'backslash' to get output below
/data/Sites/3218AD\ Eland\'s\ Bay/Bobbejaansberg/BB15/
I've been trying to play around with the 'replace' function and 'disable-output-escaping', but can't seem to make it work --see snippet below.
