How to replace "single quote" with "double single quote" in XSLT
How to replace xml value like:
<name>Linda O'Connel</name>
in
<name>Linda O''Connel</name>
through XSLT?
I need this because I need to pass this value on the powershell command line and to other platforms as it requires a "double single quote" to escape the apostrophe / single quotes.

Suppose for XSLT 1.0 you need a recursive name pattern, for example:
<xsl:template name="replace">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<xsl:param name="searchString">'</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="replaceString">''</xsl:param>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text,$searchString)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,$searchString)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$replaceString"/>
<!-- recursive call -->
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,$searchString)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="searchString" select="$searchString"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replaceString" select="$replaceString"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Call example:
<xsl:template match="name">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:call-template name="replace">
<xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
