Re: [xsl] tokenize a string with escaped spaces

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try using xsl:analyze-string with a regex of

\S*('[^']*')?("[^"]*")?

I've had to guess at your specification from your single example, but you
should be able to adapt it if the spec is different.

You could also extend the regex to pick up the keyword (before '=') and value
(after '=') as captured substrings:

(\S+)=(\S+|('[^']*')|("[^"]*"))

and then regex-group(1) gives you the keyword, and regex-group(2) the value.
