Hi Varun,
  This stylesheet does it. It uses a recursive
template.

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
 
<xsl:output method="text" /> 

<xsl:template match="/s">
   <xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
      <xsl:with-param name="str" select="." />
      <xsl:with-param name="delim" select="'__OPT__'"
/>
   <xsl:with-param name="newdelim" select="':'" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
 
<xsl:template name="replace-string">
   <xsl:param name="str" />
   <xsl:param name="delim" />
   <xsl:param name="newdelim" />
   
   <xsl:if
test="string-length(substring-before($str,$delim)) =
0">
      <xsl:value-of select="$str" />
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if
test="string-length(substring-before($str,$delim)) >
0">
      <xsl:value-of
select="substring-before($str,$delim)" /><xsl:value-of
select="$newdelim" />
   </xsl:if>
   
   <xsl:if
test="string-length(substring-after($str,$delim)) >
0">
      <xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
         <xsl:with-param name="str"
select="substring-after($str,$delim)" />
         <xsl:with-param name="delim" select="$delim"
/>
         <xsl:with-param name="newdelim"
select="$newdelim" />
      </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:if>   
 </xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

for e.g. when it is applied to XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<s>Importer__OPT__Trading Company__OPT__Service
Provider</s>

it produces output
Importer:Trading Company:Service Provider

Regards,
Mukul
