Hi,
        I have xsl variable which holds the following uuid value (550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000) which has '-' at 9-14-19-24 positions.
     I want to go these positons 9-14-19-24 and replace the characters '-' with zero's.
      Is there any function such as replace(position values,character,replace character) available in xslt.



you should always say whether you are using xslt 1 or 2, especially if asking about string handling,

do you actually need position based replace, (that would be easy using xslt 2 regexp, or only slightly more verbose using a mixture of substring and concat) but your original problem statement could be solved by translate(.,'-','0')
