Hi Vinoth, > I need to define a variable in XSL sheet as follows: <xsl:variable > name="entering_log" select='sprintf(log_str, "\n%s: %d: %s: %s", > __FILE__,__LINE__,fn, "Entering"); log_func();' ></xsl:variable> I'm > getting an error: "Could not find function: sprintf()" from the XSL > engine. How to escape the characters ( ) " ' so that they will be > interpreted as normal text by the XSL engine. I guess that you want the $entering_log variable to hold the string: 'sprintf(log_str, "\n%s: %d: %s: %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, fn, "Entering"); log_func();' If so, you need to put quotes around the string within the select attribute. Since the string contains double quotes, you need to use single quotes around it within the attribute. You can then use either single or double quotes to delimit the attribute, but whichever you use, you must escape those quotes within the attribute value. So you could use single quotes, as follows: <xsl:variable name="entering_log" select=''sprintf(log_str, "\n%s: %d: %s: %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, fn, "Entering"); log_func();'' /> or you could use double quotes and escape the double quotes in the attribute value, as follows: <xsl:variable name="entering_log" select="'sprintf(log_str, "\n%s: %d: %s: %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, fn, "Entering"); log_func();'" /> Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
