RE: Re: [xsl] how to ask analyze-string for only one match?

This stylesheet does what you asked. Of course, I can't see the rest of the stylesheet to see if there are any other issues, but this should be the seed you need.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
 <xsl:strip-space elements="*" />

 <xsl:template match="/path">
   <xsl:analyze-string select="@d" regex="^M (\d+ )(\d+ )">
     <xsl:matching-substring>
       currentX=<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/>f;
       currentY=<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/>f;
     </xsl:matching-substring>
   </xsl:analyze-string>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Yes,  and it extracts them.  Then extracts the pair after the L's too 
and causes the currentX and currentY to be set again and again without 
the code in between resulting in the last available pair being the 
current x and y.  But the path needs the commands M L z etc. to give 
meaning to the points.
