I'm trying to replace the string "|95|" with a single character but the "replace()" function seems to interpret the vertical bars as "or" and won't allow it, complaining about a "zero-length string".

How would I escape |95| in order for it to be treated it as a string and enable it to be replaced?

In general you can use a function like http://www.xsltfunctions.com/xsl/functx_escape-for-regex.html to escape any characters that usually carry a meaning for the regular expression.
