RE: Converting embedded URLs int hot links via XSL

tokenize seems about right, to find the preceding and following strings,
which may then be used in substring before and after to extract the needed
string.

but saxon 7.9.1 seems not to match using

<xsl:template match="/vs/url">
  <xsl:message>
  <xsl:for-each select="tokenize (.,
'(http|https|ftp)://((([a-z_0-9\-]+)+(([:]?)+([a-z_0-9\-]+))?)(@+)?)?(((((([
0-1])?([0-9])?[0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(2[0-5][0-5]))).(((([0-1])?([0-9])?[0-9])
|(2[0-4][0-9])|(2[0-5][0-5]))).(((([0-1])?([0-9])?[0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(2[0-
5][0-5])))\.(((([0-1])?([0-9])?[0-9])|(2[0-4][0-9])|(2[0-5][0-5]))))|((([a-z
0-9\-])+.)+([a-z]{2}.[a-z]{2}|[a-z]{2,4})))(([:])(([1-9]{1}[0-9]{1,3})|([1-5
]{1}[0-9]{2,4})|(6[0-5]{2}[0-3][0-6])))?(/)?$')">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text>
    ========
</xsl:text>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:message>

</xsl:template>

only printing out the full string.

I'm also curious how I might add (escape) the single or double quotes prior
to the
url in the example.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#nt-Punctuation seems not to include these?
