Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion helps but unfortunately not as
much as to get this thing done.

If I don't include a name in the instantiation (?) of the variable
common, as you suggest, Saxon-B 9.1.0.3 complains, doesn't actually
compile and issues a message that says "F Element must have a "name"
attribute".

<xsl:variable name="srcfilename" select="base-uri(/)"/>
<xsl:variable name="common">
	<xsl:analyze-string select="$srcfilename" regex=".+/([^/]+)\.(XLF|xlf)">
		<xsl:matching-substring>
			<xsl:variable select="regex-group(1)"/>
		</xsl:matching-substring>
	</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:variable>

If I include the name attribute, it compiles but it seems as if the
variable common doesn't get any content. It gives the message "A
variable with no following sibling instructions has no effect"

<xsl:variable name="srcfilename" select="base-uri(/)"/>
<xsl:variable name="common">
	<xsl:analyze-string select="$srcfilename" regex=".+/([^/]+)\.(XLF|xlf)">
		<xsl:matching-substring>
			<xsl:variable name="common" select="regex-group(1)"/>
		</xsl:matching-substring>
	</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:variable>

Any other ideas?

Cheers, Manuel
