I have an ASP.NET application that outputs XML and then does a
transformation into other format using XSLT. One of the formats it outputs
is comma delimited. However, it doesn't really check the data. I need it
to quote (") any fields with a comma in it and if any fields have a quote
within it I need it to surround that with quote (") and double quote the
quote (like so..."").

However, this code was developed by somebody else and my XSLT skills is
zero. :) I figure this is a simple thing, I just don't know how to do it.
The XSLT file follows.

Thanks,
Brian

There's no simple answer to this problem with XSLT unfortunately. It
does have a translate() function but it is generally used to replace one
character with another (not a string of characters). You're going to
have to resort to recursive template calling more than likely. I don't
have a sample on hand but had bookmarked the following code that you can
view on Google. It should help get you started:
