[xsl] Response to G Ken Holman re Question on search and replace in XSL

["Peterson, Melanie S." <MPeterson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

Thanks so much for your response.  This is something I never would've figured
out on my own.  I've implemented your suggestions, but I'm getting an error
message and I'm hoping it's a quick fix.  Here's the code I've got:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">

<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

....other HTML and  <xsl:apply-templates> sections.....
<xsl:apply-templates select="APName" />
....more HTML and <xsl:apply-templates> sections

...other <xsl:template> sections...
<xsl:template match="APName">
    Input value: "<xsl:value-of select="."/>"

<!--create groups of three using the tokenized input-->
<xsl:for-each-group select="tokenize(.,';')" group-by="( position() - 1 ) idiv
3">
  <!--each group produces a row-->
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" width="180"></td>
    <!--the members of the group make up the remaining columns-->
    <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
      <td>
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      </td>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
...more <xsl:template> sections

I'm getting an error message on the <xsl:for-each-group> statement:
'xsl:for-each-group' is not a recognized extension element.  I did some
research and found some suggestions that this would work better with version
1.0.  When I try that, though, the error message I get is:
'xsl:for-each-group' cannot be a child of the 'xsl:template' element.  So,
once again, I'm stuck.  Perhaps it would help if I explain how this code is
being used.  It's called from an ASP.Net application, and it's used to
generate an HTML document which is then sent via an SMTP server as an email.
The users are using Windows 7 and viewing the application in IE9.  However,
they *never* view the output of this XSL document; it's just sent as an email
behind the scenes.  The .Net code is as follows:

protected override void PrepareMessageBody()
                {
                        using (DataSet data =
DataGateway.getNYConflictNoticeInformation(RequestID)) //this calls a SQL
Server stored procedure; the DataSet called data contains various fields,
including the aaa;bbb;ccc;ddd;eee;fff field that we've been dealing with.
                        {
                                data.DataSetName = "CMIntake";
                                data.Tables[0].TableName =
"NYConflictNotice";
                                XmlDataDocument xmldoc = new
XmlDataDocument(data);

                                XslTransform xslt = new XslTransform();
                                string xsltfile = this.TemplatePath +
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["NYConflictNoticeTemplateName"].ToString();
//the xsltfile is the file we've been dealing with.  There are a number of
<xsl:apply-templates> sections and a number of <xsl:template> sections, but
we've only been dealing with the one that formats APName
                                xslt.Load(xsltfile);

                                TextWriter writer = new StringWriter();
                                xslt.Transform(xmldoc, null, writer, null);

                                Message.Body = writer.ToString();
                                Message.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; // This
Message is later sent as an email
                        }

                }

I hope this helps.  If this *isn't* a quick fix, *please* let me know and I'll
just approach this from a different perspective, i.e., I'll just build an HTML
document within the C# code and forget about XSL altogether.

Thanks so much for all your help,
