RE: [xsl] Concat function returning nodeset when param is part of arguments

Known bug: see
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2878207&group_id=29872&atid
=397617

Please note, if something stops working with a new release of a product,
then it's very likely to be a bug, and as such it should be reported first
on the forum for that product, not here on xsl-list. Both the Saxon and
oXygen lists are very responsive to problem reports.

Subject: [xsl] Concat function returning nodeset when param 
is part of arguments

Hi,

Running my code in version 11 of oxygen I'm getting the 
following error on the matches function in the when test in 
the code below

Severity: error
Description: Attempting to access a sequence as a singleton item


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; version="2.0"> ...
<xsl:param name="regex_string_tags" as="xs:string" 
select="'\[\[B\]\]'"/> ...
<xsl:variable name="matchingString" as="xs:string"
select="concat('^',$regex_string_tags,'(##[^#]+?##|\s)*?\[\[FONT')"/>
...
<xsl:when test="matches(.,$matchingString,$regex_flags)">


In the debugger it is stating that the variable matchingString is a
nodeset(5) rather than the string I would have expected.

I noticed that if I remove the parameter from the concat 
statement and replace it with 'some string' it then returns a 
string as I expect also if I change the param into a variable 
it returns a string.

<xsl:variable name="matchingString" as="xs:string"
select="concat('^','some string','(##[^#]+?##|\s)*?\[\[FONT')"/>

So why is the parameter having this effect?

I suppose I could have made a change I didn't notice however 
this was working in version 10.3 of oxygen.

Thanks
