I came up with the following as a best-practice for ourselves: <xsl:variable name="re-extract-filename" > ^.*? <!-- non-greedy: grab everything --> probably worth adding an as="xs:string" to the xsl:variable line, so the variable stores a string, as otherwise saxon will go to the trouble of generating a new document node with a unique identity, with a child text node with value your regex, and then when you use it as $re-extract-filename it'll have to coerce it back to a string anyway.
