Hi JS,

This is a faq, though the faq entry is hidden behind the name "check for integer", it actually shows how to use a regex to match an integer. It should be easy to extract the integer part based on these regexes: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/rev2/datatypes.html#d15622e974

If you don't care about the fuzz, you can also use simply (\d+) which will greedily grab the number.

Or you can do tokenize($var, '\D+') which will give you all numbers. You may want to change that to tokenize($var, '\D+')[.] to remove empty items of the sequence.

Cheers,
