Re: for i = 1 to 10, or while (is there an equivalent?

Hi Steven,
  Please try this XSL -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="text" />
	
<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:call-template name="escapeString">
       <xsl:with-param name="str" select="elem" />
       <xsl:with-param name="escapeChars" select="'\
&quot;'" />
       <xsl:with-param name="newstr" select="''" />
    </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
	
<xsl:template name="escapeString">
    <xsl:param name="str" />
    <xsl:param name="escapeChars" />
    <xsl:param name="newstr" />
           
    <xsl:choose>	
       	<xsl:when test="substring($str, 1, 1) != ''">
       	   <xsl:choose>					     <xsl:when
test="contains($escapeChars, substring($str,1,1))">
             	<xsl:call-template name="escapeString">
             	  <xsl:with-param name="str"
select="substring($str, 2)" />
                  <xsl:with-param name="escapeChars"
select="$escapeChars" />
                  <xsl:with-param name="newstr"
select="concat($newstr, '\', substring($str, 1, 1))"
/>
               	</xsl:call-template>
             </xsl:when>
             <xsl:otherwise>
             	<xsl:call-template name="escapeString">
             	  <xsl:with-param name="str"
select="substring($str, 2)" />
             	  <xsl:with-param name="escapeChars"
select="$escapeChars" />
                  <xsl:with-param name="newstr"
select="concat($newstr, substring($str, 1, 1))" />
                </xsl:call-template>
             </xsl:otherwise>
          </xsl:choose>              
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
           <xsl:value-of select="$newstr" />
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>          
</xsl:template>
	
</xsl:stylesheet>

When it is applied to the XML -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<elem>foo\bar"xxx</elem>

it produces o/p -
foo\\bar\"xxx

Regards,
Mukul
