If you want "replace" functionality, you could wrap
the Jakarta ORO package as Java Extensions in your XSLT code. We found the
behavior of the regexp JDK 1.4 to be erratic. Either the ORO or the
Regexp Package from the apache foundation are pretty solid, specially if you
want compatibility with Perl syntax.
http://jakarta.apache.org/oro
http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp
Please keep us
informed of your progress. We're working on Regexp support for XSLT ourselves.

Subject: RE: matching text with
regexp in xpath
This
will be available in XPath 2.0. It's not difficult to do by writing extension
functions, using any of the Java processors together with the regex libraries
in JDK 1.4, especially if all that you want is a boolean "match"
function.
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows of an extension function to
XPath which allows me to match text and attribute values in XML documents
against regular expressions. I'd like to be able to write something
like:
/a/b[re:match(@c,
'{.}')]
to match all elements where an attribute has a value
matching the regexp {.} (AVT) or:
/a/b/@c[re:match(., '{.}')]
to match the attribute elements themselves.
If there isn't such a thing yet I imagine it shouldn't be to
hard to write. Can somebody give me some hints/directions on how to
get started with this?
Thanks,
