You cannot use the above variable any further in the stylesheet. As
the scope of the variable is only within the enclosing xsl:if element.

Since you are using XSLT 2.0, I suggest you can use something like:

<xsl:variable name="space" select="if (document('ini.xml')//init/space
= 1) then ' ' else ''"/>

This variable declaration will not work either, for the same reason I
wrote above.

I suggest, please use:

<xsl:variable name="pat" select="if (document('ini.xml')//init/remove
= 1) then string('.') else \.[^$]"/>


PS: I haven't checked the correctness of regular expressions.
