[xsl] xsl:analyze-string

Subject: [xsl] xsl:analyze-string

Problem:

I have xml looking like
   <record>19/08/1992  09:08            111938 500014.08b</record>

Of interest is the last field, the dos file name.
Its general form is
nnnnnn.nnA   n=int, A =A-Z.

I can use the analyze-string to parse this (mostly),
I'm missing a processing model to take care of exceptions.

E.g. xxx.01a is a particular (valid form).
On occasions someone has misnamed the file xxx.ola  using o instead
of 0 letter l instead of 1.

I'm missing the nest of cases: My code is shown below.
What's the logic to posively select all the known/valid combinations
are exhausted?
I want to add some form of error markup to identify these rogues.

Valid options include, for regex-group(5)

nnb
nnm
nnl
nnf
lab

TIA, regards DaveP
