last sentence before listing (does not need to be changed for reprint but may be helpful for readers) |
There is a work-around that at least eliminates the need of matching the string against a sub-pattern again:
<xsl:analyze-string regex="(regex1)|(regex2)|...|(regexn)">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=". eq regex-group(1)">MATCHED regex1</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test=". eq regex-group(2)">MATCHED regex2</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>IMPOSSIBLE</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
