Subject: [xsl] test if string contains an apostraphe From: Heather Lindsay <heather.lindsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 15:27:11 -0400 |
hi, I am trying to test if a string contains an apostraphe but am unable to get the contains() function to work with it. Ordinarily to test if a string contains some text you would have: <xsl:if test="contains($string,'text')"> where the text you are testing for is in single quotes. Along those lines, I tried: <xsl:if test="contains($string, ''')"> which gave me the following error: org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLProcessorException: pattern = 'not(contains($string, ''')' misquoted literal... expected single quote! I tried it with double quotes around the substring <xsl:if test="contains($string, "'")"> but this is not well-formed XML. I also tried it like this: <xsl:if test="contains($string, ')"> and <xsl:if test="contains($string, ''')"> but got exceptions like the one above. Has anyone done anything like this? Thanks in advance, Heather XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
