> I'm using XSLT2's replace function against a string but am having problems > escaping the ampersand. ampersaand isn't a special character to xpath regular expressions, so you don't need to escape it so you want: replace($l_TempString,'&','and') then you need to put that XPath expression in a slect attribute, whenever you put a string containg & in an XMl file you need to write it as & so the xslt looks like select="replace($l_TempString,'&','and')" This is assuming that your input string contains a " & " if it contains " & " then you want the XPath replace($l_TempString,'&','and') which would be written in an XML file such as an XSLT stylesheet as select="replace($l_TempString,'&','and')" as the & has to be written as & David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
