RE: [xsl] Sequence of chars not working with analyze-string

Hi.

There's an awesome little downloadable app called "the regex coach" 

It gives you good visuals on what the various parts of your expression are 
doing and is useful for debugging regular expressions whatever your level of 
expertise.

I'm totally unaffiliated with the software :)

.{30,60} matches any sequence of characters with a minimum
length of 30 and a maximum length of 60, and generally
speaking unless specified otherwise a regular expression
will match the longest sequence of characters it can.

So it's clear why it's doing what it does. I don't have
time right now to suggest what you should be doing
instead.

  I didn't study this case in details, but I guess that use
substring() or that replace the regexp "(.{30,60})" by
".{30}(.{1,30})" will do the job, if I right understood
the requierments.
