Dear list,
I need to convert the first character of a string from lower-case to upper-case. I know that I can do so with the following code: concat(upper-case(substring(.,1,1)),substring(.,2)) I was wondering whether it can also be done with the replace() function, i.e., with a regular expression. I found out that some regular expression versions have the command \u for that. So I tried the following: replace(.,'^(.)','\u$1') But this produces an error with Saxon ("FORX0004: Invalid replacement string in replace(): \ character must be followed by \ or $"). Does this mean that case conversion is not available in the regular expression version implemented in XSLT? Or did I get the code wrong? Thanks in advance for your help! Wolfhart
