Input XML

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>

What kind of numbers, only positive integers without any leading + or - symbol? Anyway, if you match with regular expressions, then the metacharacter $ indicates a match on the end of the string perhaps using it in your expression, as in '([0-9]+),\s[0-9]+$', suffices.
