Re: Aw: [xsl] URI collection select?

["Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex gerrit.imsieke@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since uri-collection() is new to XPath 3.1 and the collection URI query 
parameters that OP is using look like Saxonbs, OP is probably using a 
recent version of Saxon.

In recent versions of Saxon, a collection URI query parameter named 
'match' is supported, see 
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/#!sourcedocs/collections

So you can use this:

uri-collection($srcPath || '?match=.+%5C.(xml%7Cdita)')

In the match regex, since you are using it in a URI, you need to 
percent-encode the backslash, '\', and the pipe symbol, '|'.

Saxonbs 'select' query parameter has always supported only glob-like 
patterns (that were translated into a matching regex). I don't think you 
could ever use a comma-separated list of glob patterns for the 'select' 
parameter.
