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

Hi Arun, I'm wanting to insert character rather than remove them, ie.
Replace \ with \\ and " with \".

Hi,

I might sound stupid here but are you trying to output foobarxxx ->
foobarxxx from the string foo\bar"xxx -> foo\\bar\"xxx ?

If yes then simply use the following :-

<xsl:value-of select="translate($var,'&quot;\','')" />

Cheers.

Arun
