The tool you're looking for is commonly called "brain" and
humans are typically supplied with one at birth. If you
have lost or misplaced yours, contact your vendor's
customer support centre for a replacement.

On a more serious note, XSLT is not designed for string
processing. This might be bearable with XSLT2, but still a
curious design choice.
