XSLT 1.0 doesn't support regular expressions, but in 2.0 you can write

match="processing-instruction(Pub)[matches(., '\*\d*')]"

In 1.0 you could do:

starts-with('*') and translate(substring-after('*', '0123456789', '')) = ''

Subject: [xsl] Wild Card in Match Statement

I'm trying to match <?Pub *0000245?> where the numbers
could be anything. I want to remove this.

<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('Pub')[.='\*\d*']">

</xsl:template>

Is what it would look like in Perl, but is there an
easy way to use wild cards in XSL?  Thanks.

Naomi
