So, looks like the problem at hand can not be solved
without using extensions (which I can't)???

I don't think that's really the regexp you want

apart frm the fact that it only allows 0-9 and
a-z (not
even A-Z). It is only matching up to the first

so basically just the host name part of the URL
plyus
optional port specifier.
(That implies that DC actually understood that line
noise :-) I'm impressed
David)
you don't want to use "tokenize() for this you
want to use xsl:analyze-string which should give
you a
handle on the bits of the data matching and
not-matching
your regexp.
That's it. Thanks David.
I'd use a fairly permissive regexp something
like
[a-z]+://[^
()"']+ ie everything from
foo:// to the
next space or bracket or quote character.
It works within those limits,
<xsl:analyze-string select="."
regex="http://[^
( )"']+">
<xsl:non-matching-substring><xsl:text/>
<other><xsl:value-of
select="."/></other><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:matching-substring>
<span><xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
Doing just what was requested,
even escaping the quotes, single and double,
to produce
<other> Test url string: '</other>
<span>http://www.yahoo.com/</span><other>' and one
more url "</other>
<span>http://www.yahoo.com/</span><other>"</other>
Thanks David.
I guessed I'd missed something :-)
