David ForslundSubject: Create CSV file with XSLT
Author: David Forslund
Date: 23 Oct 2003 05:31 PM
When creating a CSV file from XML using XSLT,
I've found a problem with no apparent solution.
The data has quotes and commas in it. Excel requires embedded quotes to be doubled so that it can parse them correctly. However, I've found no way to transform a " to "" within XSLT. The transform function should do it,
but there is no way to invoke it with those characters. Any suggestions?

David,

If I understood your problem, attached to this message you will find the
solution.
First trick is to save the " and "" inside a variable, second trick is
to use a recursive template.
For processor that supports tile recursion like Saxon it should also
scale reasonably.
