I want to output single quote around $ID variable in the below xsl:value-of xsl statment.
<xsl:value-of select="concat('process[@Ref=',$ID,']')"></xsl:value-of>
currently it prints
process@Ref=87799989
Please let me know how can i achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Keshav
Use '
?
<xsl:value-of select="concat('process[@Ref='',$ID,'']')"></xsl:value-of>
Edit: See Dimitre's answer for a better solution.
In XPath 1.0:
You can use the built-in entities '
and "
In XSLT 1.0:
Alternatively, you can define your $Q
and $APOS
variables (put the content (the literal " or the literal ' character) in the body of the xsl:variable
, not in the select
attribute).
In XPath 2.x (this also means XSLT 2.x and XQuery 1.x)
Simply escape an apostrophe by entering two adjacent apostrophes, escape a quote by entering two adjacent quotes, as defined by the XPath 2.0 language
To expand on Dimitre's answer, you can use this solution in XSLT:
<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('process[@Ref=',$apos,$ID,$apos,']')"></xsl:value-of>
<xsl:value-of
select="concat('process[@Ref='',$ID,'']')"></xsl:value-of>
this doesn't work for me. My solution is:
<xsl:value-of select="concat("process[@Ref='",$oidConstant,"'")"></xsl:value-of>
Easy Example would be
<xsl:variable name="varTitle" select="title" />
<xsl:variable name="APOS">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="translate($varTitle, 'any text', $APOS)"/>
This will replace "any text" with ' in my title.
