This is much cleaner Jeni.
I'm struggling with the over-abundance of options in 2!
Thanks.

If you just want to get the matches and mismatches in a sequence, then
use:
<xsl:analyze-string select="$input" regex="{$regex}">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<match><xsl:value-of select="." /></match>
</xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<mismatch><xsl:value-of select="." /></mismatch>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
The result in the case you're trying will be:
<match>ABC_PARA</match>
<mismatch>_</mismatch>
<match>_PARA</match>
You should only use regex-group() if you want to get the substrings
within a matching substring that match a particular bracketed
subexpression within the regular expression.
