Re: [xsl] Detect   in the input file

[Manuel Strehl <manuel.strehl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

technically you can't distinguish an " " from the character it 
represents. So assuming you don't search literally for 
'&'+'n'+'b'+'s'+'p'+';', you could try something like this:

<if test="contains (., '&#x00A0;&#x00A0;&#x00A0;')">
 do something
</if>

&#x00A0; and &nbsp; both describe the same Unicode codepoint, the 0xA0 
non-breaking space.

Replacing can be done recursively. See 
<http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/replace.html> for examples.

Best,
Manuel
