Re: regex question about reorganizing a string in XSLT

What I really want to do is reorganize strings that contain, for example
"(Mrs),", " (Dr)," and " (senior),". (There is a space in front of each that
also needs to be removed during the reorganization.) Such that:

<Person>Jones (senior), John</Person>
becomes
<Person>Jones, John (senior)</Person>

But only when the <Person> element contains the substring "),"; all other
<Person>elements should not be touched For instance,

<Person>Smith, Ralph J.</Person>

Would remain unchanged.

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="2.0">

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
