You could do something with XSLT, sure, but there is no substring-replace function or regular expression support in XPath. It would be terribly inefficient to attempt to do multiple substring comparisons and substring replacements with recursion and the functions that are available. Only the simple cases (matching and replacing one substring) are practical. - Mike ___________________________________________________________ Mike J.
