Re: [xsl] Is there any way to identify the date format ?

there is no cross processor way of specifying extension function
implementations, so whether or not you have access to a function is
totally dependent on the processor you are using which you didn't
reveal.

many processors let you escape to other languages, so in saxon/xalan you
can access java methods (and so java regex) in msxsl you can access
j(ava)script and so javascript regex. etc.

Or of course you can use XSLT 2 which has regex support built in.
