Today I have a different problem. How do I extract data from an

element? 

If you use XSLT 2.0 then look into xsl:analyze-string
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#analyze-string

Here is an example:



<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="2.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>



  <xsl:template match="DIMENSIONS">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="DIMENTION">

    <xsl:copy>

      <xsl:analyze-string select="." 
regex="\s+T=(\d+)\s+(\d+)\s+x\s+(\d+)">

        <xsl:matching-substring>

          <Length>

            <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/>

          </Length>

          <Width>

            <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/>

          </Width>

          <Mass>

            <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(3)"/>

          </Mass>

        </xsl:matching-substring>

      </xsl:analyze-string>

    </xsl:copy>

  </xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>



Note that you use the odd spelling "DIMENTION" in your XML input sample 
so the match attribute uses that spelling too.
