Hi, I might be using this fuction incorrectly but I'm using an example from:
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSL-Ref/Tutorials/Regular-Expressions/re3.html With the
following xml: <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?> <aaa>How do you
do?</aaa> And the following xsl: <xsl:template
match="/aaa"> <xxx> <xsl:value-of
select="replace(.,'o.','#')"/> </xxx>
</xsl:template> I was expecting the following output:
<xxx>H# d#y# d#</xxx> But instead I get:
<xxx>How do you d#</xxx> Am I using 'replace' incorrectly or
is this function not completly implemented? Possibly my version of java is at fault?
Testing done with Saxon 8.7.1 and gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.0 Thanks for any help!

It works fine with JDK 1.5. I tried using the GNU regex library as part of the port
to .NET and found it very defective (so I used the .NET regex library instead). I could
have implemented a mapping to the GNU regex library but I couldn't even find a
specification worth speaking of, it seemed to be a matter of trial and error to find out
what worked.
