After further investigating, I do not believe this to be a bug, but rather how each processor handles regex. When I changed the following regex, it worked. [code]<xsl:for-each select="tokenize($text, '[\W+][(][)]')">[/code]

[code]tokenize($text, '[\W\w+]')[/code] is clearly nonsense: the regular expression matches any character that is either a word character or a non-word character or a "+" sign; that is, it matches any character, and therefore tokenize() applied to a string of 5 characters returns a sequence of 6 zero-length strings. Hence the lack of any output. [code]tokenize($text, '[\W+][(][)]')">[/code] doesn't seem much better. The regex matches any sequence consisting of a sequence of non-word characters followed by "(" followed by ")". No such sequence occurs in your input, so the tokenize() will return a single token equal to the input string. I can't see why you're trying to process the string through three separate regular expressions. You seem to be making it vastly more complicated than it needs to be.

PS: neither your template nor your function is recursive.

Note to self: you've been schooled! Thanks Michael - if [code]tokenize($text, '[\W+][(][)]')">[/code] doesnt make much sense, then how can I match a word that is in parentheses? e.g. (BATM) or (XSLT) Thx

This really has become a question for mulberry tech XSL list, not here You seem to miss the concept of what tokenize() does. Tokenize() splits a string into a sequence (put simply), the regex in teh second parameter is the seperator description (note that you loose the seperator) I have rewritten your code as I think you need it. It is not rocket science code, but I think that the way I put it would help you understand the use of tokenize better [code] <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" xmlns:mf="myfunct" exclude-result-prefixes="mf fn xs" > <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:variable name="ignore-list" select="('to', 'for', 'on', 'the', 'if', 'when', 'a', 'an', 'and')"></xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="/root/data"> <xsl:analyze-string select="/root/data" regex="((\w+))"> xsl:matching-substring <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/> </xsl:matching-substring> xsl:non-matching-substring <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., '\s+')"> xsl:choose <xsl:when test="lower-case(.) = $ignore-list and not(position() = 1)"> <xsl:value-of select="lower-case(.)"/> </xsl:when> xsl:otherwise <xsl:value-of select="upper-case(substring(.,1,1))"/> <xsl:value-of select="lower-case(substring(.,2))"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> xsl:text </xsl:text> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:non-matching-substring> </xsl:analyze-string> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> [/code]

please remove the following from my code <xsl:for-each select="/root/data"> it is legecay from your code, but it doesn't do anything here

Thanks. I appreciate the help. Regards, Phil
