Re: [xsl] Tokenize question: tokenize on words, spaces and punctuation

In xslt 2.0:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0">
    <xsl:output method="text"/>
    <xsl:template match="/string">
        ('<xsl:value-of select="tokenize(.,'[\s]+')" separator="', ' ', '"/>')
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Output:

('Oh', ' ', 'what', ' ', 'a', ' ', 'great', ' ', 'day!')


Thanks.
