Isn't the regular expressions in Xslt 2.0 following the rules of
regular expression laid out in XML Schema
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#regexs ? That an expression is
automatically anchored at the head and tail. so i guess you don't need
the starting ^.

I'm having a problem understanding xsl:analyze-string, or perhaps the problem is with my regex.
I'm working with a VARCHAR2 column in an Oracle database. This column has been "re-purposed" to hold three data items in a formatted structure. I need to inspect this field for data entry errors. One of the most common errors is the failure to include one or more spaces to separate the individual data items.
I have written the test template below. What I expect to see as output is "XY". What I get is "".
Can someone point out my error(s)? Thanks.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="position-code-candidate">
<xsl:analyze-string select="'XY02/28/2007 L'" regex="^\w+">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)" />
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$position-code-candidate" />
</xsl:template>
