Syntax

Namespace declaration

You need to declare this namespace only if you call the function directly from the USCSXSL component but outside Blend. In a Blend context (ublendit.exe, uscsxsl.blend()) the namespace is already declared in the Blend transformation, which is in xsl\Util\Batch.1.0.xsl in your USoft installation folder.

xmlns:strings="USoft:Strings"

Function call

strings:Replace( string, substring, alternative )

Each of the 3 arguments (string, substring, alternative) are required. Each argument is a character string of any size.

If substring appears in string multiple times, the replacement takes place each time.

If substring does not appear in string, then string is returned unaffected.

Example

<root xmlns:pc="Processing.Command" xmlns:assign="Processing.Command.Assign">
	<example>
		<pc:value-of select="strings:Replace('IS_FOLLOWED_BY', '_', '')"/>
	</example>
</root>

The result value is:

IS FOLLOWED BY
