However, another approach I have seen is to build the regular expression methodically, for example with a sequence of variables:another advantage of this technique, when using <xsl:analyze-string> is that you can reuse the definitions within a choose inside matching-substring, e.g. <xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="{$number-or-string}"> <xsl:matching-substring> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="matches(.,$number)">...... <xsl:when test="matches(.,$string)">...... and of course the cases are only defined once - and usually in 'plain text' situations. However group numbering can still be an issue. If you're doing a lot of that then some simple preprocessing could assist - collecting the sub-regexes from the tests and forming up the variables etc.... -- *John Lumley* MA PhD CEng FIEE john@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:john@xxxxxxxxxxxx> on behalf of Saxonica Ltd
