Ramon,
I need to search an XML via a string that may contain apostrophes.
ex.:
var sDesc:String = XPath.selectNodes(_xml, "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" +
sReleasedLabel + "']/@writeup")[0];
Is there a way to escape the apostrophe? The problem is that the
sReleasedLabel, which contains "Chinese New Year '06", is thought to
end at "... Year " because of the apostrophe.
I've tried "/" and "\" as escape chars but they don't work.
You should be able to use double quotes surrounding the expression
you are looking for...
XPath.selectNodes(_xml, "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"" + sReleasedLabel + "\"]/
@writeup")[0];
This is something that wouldn't work in an xpath statement in an XML
file, but you should be able to get away with it in ActionScript
depending on whether the xpath library you are using supports this
notation.
Other than that there is no solution to your problem. Better to
encode your attribute values so that they contain ' instead of
apostrophe characters.
Cheers,
Steve
