I'm not following you. When you say "... match (or not) the whole string ...",
are you saying that I should change the regex so that it matches the entire
input string rather than the part I'm interested in, or will adding the "$"
cause xsl:analyze-string to deal only with the part I'm interested in using?
I've come up with a solution that feels bulky, but it works. Of course, if I
could slim it down, I'd be so much the happier.
Bulky Solution:
<xsl:template name="extract-minutes-as-seconds">
<xsl:param name="time" />
<xsl:variable name="seconds">
<xsl:analyze-string select="$time" regex="([0-9]+ minutes)">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="60 *
xs:integer((substring-before(regex-group(1),' minutes')))" />
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$seconds=''"></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$seconds"
/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Subject: Re: [xsl] xsl:analyze-string explanation needed
Can someone explain the operation of this element and how I can get
the output of either one OR the other branch, but not both?
make the regex match (or not) the whole string (by adding .*$ to the end of the
regex), and if there is a possibility that the string takes more than one
line, setting the flags to make sure . includes the newline character)
David
