I suspect you meant select="doctext" regex="|".
"|" is a metacharacter in regular expressions. It needs to be escaped as \|
(or if you prefer, [|])

Subject: [xsl] regex help, please
I've got a pipe delimited list of data which I'd like to turn
into an Xml doc for further processing.
So, I use code something like
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:analyze-string regex="doctext" select='|'>
<xsl:matching-substring></xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring><item><xsl:value-of
select="."/></item></xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="$doctext/node()"/> </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
Which doesn't work - it doesn't recognize the pipe as a regex.
What should that regex be?
I've also tried /| and [|].
