Re: [xsl] String manipulations with quotes

I am trying to grab text within quotes. XSLT is not being cooperative. Does anyone have any tricks to grab the quote. I would expect it would see the double quote in the single quote as 'text' and not a delimiter. However, it sees it as a closing quote. I tried the 'old vi backslash trick'but it didn't work.


There is no backslash escaping in XML/XPath.
Try
 <xsl:variable name="name1">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring-after ($definition, '&quot;')"/>
 </xsl:variable>

BTW you could write this as
 <xsl:variable name="name1" select="substring-after($definition, '&quot;')"/>
