Hi I've nearly created an XLST that does nearly what I want
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:template match="node()|@*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="//control[name='DelaySeconds']/numeric/max"> <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(string(.), '110', '5')" /> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="//control[name='DelaySeconds']/numeric/scalemax"> <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"> <xsl:value-of select="translate(string(.), '110', '5')" /> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> This replace the strings <max>110</max> <scalemax>110</scalemax> with <max>55</max> <scalemax>55</scalemax> but what I want is <max>5</max> <scalemax>5</scalemax> I've tried using replace instead of translate but I get the error message xmlXPathCompOpEval: function replace not found XPath error : Unregistered function Any ideas how to get round that?
