I have this regex <!-- remove commas embedded in amounts--> <!-- also replace multiple hyphens with asterisks --> <xsl:variable name="line" select="replace(replace(.,'-{2,}','**********'),'(,(\d{3})+(\D|$))','$2')"/> operating on Cash from Operatings/ Financial Expenses 372.43 4,889.48 -2,070.08 154.8 the role of the inner replace is to replace multiple hypens with asterisks. In the above there are no multiple hypens so it should not be effective. the outer replace is meant to remove embedded commas in the field however I noticed it is also causing me to lose the decimal point which I of course would like to retain. Upon diagnosis I tried <xsl:variable name="line" select="replace(replace(.,'-{2,}','**********'),'(,(\d{3}\.?)+(\D|$))','$2')"/> and <xsl:variable name="line" select="replace(replace(.,'-{2,}','**********'),'(,(\d{3}[.]?)+(\D|$))','$2')"/> various ways of slipping a decimal point into the captured variable after the \d{3} Neither had any effect. So I thought I'd come ask.
