Re: Multiple replace() in XSLT 2

Can you use XSLT 3 (if you're using latest Saxon then XSLT 3 is an option)?

If so, then xsl:iterate is probably easier for this than recursion.

If you are limited to XSLT 2 then I'd probably use a recursive function to do
it.

Cheers,

Eliot

    Hi,

    I have a look up file of find/change pairs that I have to apply to a text
node in my XML document. I am using XSLT 2. Here is an example of the lookup
file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <findchange_lookup>
        <findchange find="Eicas" change="EICAS"/>
        <findchange find="Ulb" change="ULB"/>
    </findchange_lookup>


    I am reading this in as a global variable, but I am not sure the best
approach for doing multiple replacements on the node. I can use recursion like
in XSLT 1, but I can't think of how to do this in XSLT 2. There could be any
number of <findchange> elements in my lookup file. Any pointers would be
appreciated. Thank you very much.

    Rick
