Re: [xsl] regex in XSLT 2.0: problems with XPath

[Manuel Souto Pico <manuel.souto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all replies.

Yes, I realised about the missing quotes as soon as I sent my example. 
They are definitely needed.

And yes, it seems that I can't match <![CDATA[ etc. in my source 
document. Now in fact I realise that what I was trying to do was a bit 
senseless (I can do it more efficiently without regex in this particular 
case).

Thanks once again for your help.

And have a nice weekend!
Manuel
