XSLT double quotes problem

[Raj Kad]

Hi,
Anybody here to solve XSLT problem?
The problem is as follows

<xsl:variable name="quotes">"</xsl:variable>
OR
<xsl:variable name="quotes" select=""" />

<xsl:variable name="fullCommand" select="concat($quotes,$telephoneNumber, $quotes)" />

I want a result "123456" i.e. telephoneNumber in quotes after concat,but it's not giving.It gives "telephoneNumber"
I am using Texedo for the transformation.

Try this, if its suits your case
<xsl:variable name="telephoneNumber" select="'123456'" />
<xsl:value-of select="concat('& #34;',$telephoneNumber,'& #34;')" />

Note: there is no space between & #34;, & #34; is unicode value of "(quot)

Thanks a lot for reply but it's still not working

I tried with "(semicolon here).
also with '"'

but still not working.

code is like this

<xsl:variable name="quotes">"</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="CreateDNCode">
<xsl:variable name="fullCommand" select="concat($quotes, $telephoneNumber, $quotes, $colon)" />
<xsl:element name="Command" >
<xsl:value-of select="$fullCommand"/>
</xsl:element>

Sorry it's posted wrong way with "

Thanks a lot for reply but it's still not working

I tried with & quot ;

also with '& #34;'

but still not working.

code is like this

<xsl:variable name="quotes">& #34;</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="CreateDNCode">
<xsl:variable name="fullCommand" select="concat($quotes, $telephoneNumber, $quotes, $colon)" />
<xsl:element name="Command" >
<xsl:value-of select="$fullCommand"/>
</xsl:element>

What is your expected output and what it is printing with the above code ??

Hopefully I am not missing anything, but you seem to be overly complicating thing unnecessarily....

Let us know if this works,

<xsl:variable name="fullCommand" select="concat(& quot ;,$telephoneNumber, & quot ;) " />

Ok, I had to add space characters before and after the quot 
key word in the abve stmt so it displays correctly. When you 
add this stmt in your style sheet, remove the extra space 
that I added.

If that doesn't work, try -

<xsl:variable name="fullCommand" select="concat('& quot ;',$telephoneNumber, '& quot ;')" />
