Today I have a different problem. How do I extract data from an element?
If you use XSLT 2.0 then look into xsl:analyze-string
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#analyze-string

Here is an example:

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

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="DIMENSIONS">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="DIMENTION"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="\s+T=(\d+)\s+(\d+)\s+x\s+(\d+)"> <xsl:matching-substring> <Length> <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/> </Length> <Width> <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/> </Width> <Mass> <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(3)"/> </Mass> </xsl:matching-substring> </xsl:analyze-string> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Note that you use the odd spelling "DIMENTION" in your XML input sample so the match attribute uses that spelling too.
