Slight disagreement: XSLT is not *optimized* for string processing. XSLT 
and XPath do have string manipulation functions, and you can combine 
those with XSLT recursion to achieve most desired results... but it may 
be a bit painful. The XSLT FAQ website; it has a large number of 
examples of how to do this.

But if you're looking for a tool to assist you in writing the stylesheet 
to perform those string extractions... well, as Pavel suggested the most 
common tool is a human who knows XSLT. There have been attempts to 
create query-by-example tools that assist users in producing XSLT 
transformations, but they're relatively uncommon and those which do 
exist have generally focused on more the input document's structure than 
on trying to break up the contents of individual fields.
