 How to tokenize a string that contains space-delimited
Hi Folks,

I want to tokenize this string:

if machine = "Intel 386 or later processors and compatible processors" then
ground

into this sequence of tokens:

if
machine
=
Intel 386 or later processors and compatible processors
then
ground

Unfortunately, this:

tokenize(.,'\s+')

does not do the desired tokenization, as it also breaks up:

"Intel 386 or later processors and compatible processors"

into pieces.

Nor does this do the desired tokenization:

tokenize(.,'(\s+)|(")')

Is there a simple way in XSLT/XPath to tokenize the string into the desired
sequence of tokens?

/Roger
