XSLT Replace function not found

by

The replace function is only available in XSLT version 2.0, not in version 1.0 which is what Visual Studio uses. Just because you’ve specified version="2.0" doesn’t mean that Visual Studio supports it.

Here’s a template on codesling that implements string-replace in XSLT 1.0. You should be able to use it but I can’t vouch for its efficiency.

(Taken from the link above)

<xsl:template name="string-replace-all">
  <xsl:param name="text"/>
  <xsl:param name="replace"/>
  <xsl:param name="by"/>
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="contains($text,$replace)">
      <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$replace)"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="$by"/>
      <xsl:call-template name="string-replace-all">
        <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,$replace)"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="by" select="$by"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

You’d call it like this:

<xsl:otherwise>
  <td style="border: solid 1px black; background-color:#00CC66;">
    <xsl:variable name="FeatureInfo" select="Text" />
    <xsl:call-template name="string-replace-all">
      <xsl:with-param name="text" select="$FeatureInfo"/>
      <xsl:with-param name="replace" select="Feature="/>
      <xsl:with-param name="by" select="TESTING"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </td>
</xsl:otherwise>
