Brian,
You're looking for '\|'. The backslash is used to escape metacharacters.
Mulberry has posted a QuickRef for XPath 2.0 regex at
http://www.mulberrytech.com/quickref/index.html
(Thanks to Sam Wilmott.)
An easier way to do what you want could be:
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(doctext,'\|')">
<item>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</item>
</xsl:for-each>
Cheers,
Wendell

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 [|].
