The substring replacement template in the FAQ is overkill for your needs.

XPath provides a nice translate() function that will replace all occurrences
of one single character in a string with another character. Example:

   <xsl:value-of select="translate($stringIn,'/ ','')"/>

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-String-Functions
