Starts with number in xslt - xslt

Question

Entries start with a number or the word "noon". Those will become elements.
An end-nested-style character () should be placed at the end of the show's title, which is marked by a space followed by one of the following codes: MVLSC, 16VLSC, MSC, 16VL, ML, MC, PGC, 16VL
Input :
<table>
<tr>
<td> 7.10 Between Worlds 16VLSC 2018 Thriller. Haunted by memories of his deceased family, a truck.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A look at the latest movie trailers, coming soon to cinemas.</td>
</tr>
</table>
Output :
<p type="Entry"><tab/>7.10<tab/>Between Worlds<char type="endNestedStyleHere"/> 16VLSC 2018 Thriller. Haunted by memories of his deceased family, a truck.</p>
Tried code :
<xsl:template match="td[starts-with(.,'1234567890')]">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
I am using XSLT 2.0. Thank you

Answer 1

You can use matches in XSLT 2.0
<xsl:template match="td[matches(., '^[0-9].*')]">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
Or maybe you need to check for spaces too too if there could be whitespace before the number...
<xsl:template match="td[matches(., '^\s*[0-9].*')]">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
Note, if you did want an XSLT 1.0 solution, you could do this...
<xsl:template match="td[contains('0123456789', substring(normalize-space(), 1, 1))]">
