Re: [xsl] comparing strings (and humble request to a Java programmer)

If we have a way to make a nodeset of text notes from a string XSLT
would be almost magical :)

especially if regexps are permitted:

Can someone write an extension function of this type for Saxon or Xalan
so we could experiment a bit, please? My knowledge of Java is rather
rusty.
