[xsl] Help with regex

["Ginny Wagner" <ginnywagner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The following is a system that will relate various names(citations) from
various sources to a specific person. I need to bring the sourceref and the
personref into equal strings with the matching ids in their xml pages. I
have over 90,000 name records that need to be translated properly so that
the refid will match the id in the other xml docs. 

name.xml
<names>
<citation>
<name id="N000002"/>
<forename>Bob</forename>
<descriptor>Jones</descriptor>
<sourceref refid="S3568"/>
<source>ww</source>
<edition>1995</edition>
<reference>p. 254</reference>
<personref refid="P875"/>
<knownby>Robert Jones</knownby>
</citation>
<citation>
<name id="N000005"/>
<forename>Stretch</forename>
<descriptor>Jones</descriptor>
<sourceref refid="S10312"/>
<source>ww</source>
<edition>1998</edition>
<reference>p. 189</reference>
<personref refid="P875"/>
<knownby>Robert Jones</knownby>
</citation>
</<names>

person.xml
<person id="P000875" security="private" knownby="Robert Jones" gender="male"
status="Artist" provenance="England" existence="deceased" family="yes"
county="York" pnotes="He created over one thousand paintings most of which
now hang in museums across the United States and Canada. His son, Robert
Jones, Jr. built the Jones Museum in London which houses over one hundred of
his paintings as well as fifty paintings of his wife, Celia Jones. His style
is cubist. He studied with Picasso when just a young boy."/>  

source.xml
<source source-id="S003568" type="Who's Who" edition="1995" reference="page
94" county="London">Blah Blah Blah <name>Bob Jones</name> blah blah artist
of the year in Brussels.
<notes></notes></source>
<source source-id="S010312" type="Who's Who" edition="1998" reference="page
98" county="London">Blah Blah Blah <name>Stretch Jones</name> blah blah
artist of the year in Paris.
<notes>Toured the United States in 1997.</notes></source>

The psuedo code I have is come up with is:

Left 1 = var Y:  var Y=P or S
Find resultant length and store in var X: 875, 3568, 10312, (3, 4, 5)
6- var X = var Z : 3, 2, 1
Var Z = no. of 0 to append to var Y : P000, S00, S0
Concatenate var Y and var Z:  P000875, S003568, S010312

The result should be:

name.xml
<names>
<citation>
<name id="N000002"/>
<forename>Bob</forename>
<descriptor>Jones</descriptor>
<sourceref refid="S003568"/>
<source>ww</source>
<edition>1995</edition>
<reference>p. 254</reference>
<personref refid="P000875"/>
<knownby>Robert Jones</knownby>
</citation>
<citation>
<name id="N000005"/>
<forename>Stretch</forename>
<descriptor>Jones</descriptor>
<sourceref refid="S010312"/>
<source>ww</source>
<edition>1998</edition>
<reference>p. 189</reference>
<personref refid="P000875"/>
<knownby>Robert Jones</knownby>
</citation>
</<names>

My (nonworking) xsl translation is:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    version="1.0">
 <xsl:template match="/"> 
    <xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" />

    
   <xsl:function name="str:characters" as="xs:string*">
        <xsl:param name="string" as="xs:string" />
        <xsl:if test ="$string">
  <xsl:sequence select="substring($string, 1, 1)" as="uppercase" />
            <xsl:variable name="remainder" select="substring($string, 2)"
as="string" />
            <xsl:if test="remainder">
                <xsl:sequence select="str:characters($remainder)" />
    <xsl:count($remainder()*) as integer/>
 <xsl:sum(6-($remainder) as="xs:addon" />
                <xsl:string xsl:string-join((xs:$uppercase, $addon,
$remainder)) />
            </xsl:if>
        </xsl:if>
   </xsl:function>
 </xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet>

I get an error on the count statement in oXygen and I can't seem to get any
further. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
