If you just want to get the matches and mismatches in a sequence, then
use:

  <xsl:analyze-string select="$input" regex="{$regex}">
    <xsl:matching-substring>
      <match><xsl:value-of select="." /></match>
    </xsl:matching-substring>
    <xsl:non-matching-substring>
      <mismatch><xsl:value-of select="." /></mismatch>
    </xsl:non-matching-substring>
  </xsl:analyze-string>

The result in the case you're trying will be:
  
<match>ABC_PARA</match>
<mismatch>_</mismatch>
<match>_PARA</match>

You should only use regex-group() if you want to get the substrings
within a matching substring that match a particular bracketed
subexpression within the regular expression.

Cheers,

Jeni
