Micah, you could probably use a regular expression pattern with submatches to extract the various parts. You'll want to verify this (the regex support in 2.0, that is) , since I'm still getting my ... toes ... wet with *1.0*

Regards,

I know how I would do this in XSLT 1.0, and it's not very pretty. Is there an elegant way in XPath/XSLT 2.0 to do this?

I have a variable with a string value like "3.48in" or "1pt" or "4" or "#123456" etc. Of the values that contain units, the first 2 of this particular list, I want to separate out the value from the units. I can include a list of possible unit values, say ("in", "cm", "pt", "em", "px") or whatever.
