Hi David,

Thanks for the information. I don't have www access, so I would appreciate if you can post one of the string replace functions. I am using XLST 1. Thanks again.

PI's don't really have attributes, they may look structured in the convention of the application that understands that instruction, but to an XML system they are just flat text.

So in xslt you need to do string replace functions to achieve this.
XSLT1 FAQ has several replace templates which could get you started.
xslt2 has regular expression functions that make this easier or saxon
has

which might have helped if the syntax had looked a bit more like an xml
attribute, but doesn't in this case, I think.
