Hi,
Yes, this helps. I did go down a similar route with saxon before I found the
exclamation mark flag. The issue I had was that using the Java bindings in
Saxon was very inefficient when calculating matches for large number of
attributes. This may have been my fault for not compiling the regex outside of
the "for" statement, but I remember being relieved to find the magic flag to
switch to Java regular expressions. I'll try out the github reference and see
how I get on.
Is this switch something I could request as an enhancement, if so could I
expect it to be implemented any time soon?
Thanks for you help,
Gary

Hi Gary,
not directly a flag, but you are for sure able to use Java classes from within
BaseX like so https://gist.github.com/c72fad2758af668eb0f1
More information on our Java Bindings can be found
here: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Java_Bindings
I hope this helps, feel free to ask for more help =)
