[exslt] Any -complete- examples for the replace function?

[Sebastien Boisvert]

Ok, so here are the template/xmls I've tried to make this work with; I'm using libxslt (comes w/ Mac OS X) through xsltproc command line - maybe someone can test it and explain if I'm not doing something right here.

xsl:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict"
                xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings"
                extension-element-prefixes="str" >

<xsl:import href="/Users/seb/str.replace.xsl" />
<xsl:variable name="searches" select="document('replace.xml')/replacements" />

<xsl:variable name="search" select="$searches/replacement/@search" />
<xsl:variable name="replace" select="$searches/replacement" />

<xsl:template match="text()">

<xsl:variable name="result" select="str:replace(.,$search,$replace)" />
<xsl:copy-of select="$result" />
<xsl:copy-of select="str:replace(.,$search,$replace)" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


source xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><note><to>Jani</to></note>


replace.xml referenced in xsl:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<replacements>
        <replacement search="Jani">Other</replacement>
</replacements>

Hi all.

Does anyone have a *complete* example on how to properly use the str:replace function? I've tried the sample given at http://lists.fourthought.com/pipermail/exslt/2001-November/000362.html but that's really more of a fragment; I'd like to see a complete example (specifically using node sets) so that I can:

1. confirm that I'm loading the extension in properly
2. confirm if the processor I use is capable of handling it 
3. verify if I'm using it properly

I'm pulling my hair out at this point and it's infuriating to see it work under some conditions but not others, and not have any complete examples to work up from.

Thanks!
Sebastien
