Also, I was thinking that the regular expression itself could be
simplified, if all you're trying to match is the first quoted-string
or number.
This "[^"]*" RegEx is supposed to match quoted strings, and this
"[^"]*"{1} I think would match the first quoted string.
The above 2 regular expressions worked when tested here:

I'm trying to find a simpler regular expression, I tried the above but
they did not match anything.
Also I found the above regular expression syntax at the bottom of the
example shown here:

As I am an absolute RegEx beginner, please excuse me if this is a
trivial question.
At the moment I am playing with:
<xsl:analyze-string select="$vstrInput"
regex='([\s]*)(("[^"\\]*((\\.[^"\\]*)*"))|((([-]?[0-9]+)?\.)?[-]?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)?
))(.*)$' flags="m">
which should match only the first quoted-string or number in the
string-argument.
Is there any way I can split this RegEx on separate lines and/or add
whitespace so that it would be more readable?
