perl regex to get params string from functions

Question

I have a document containing 100's of lines as show below.

 fn:concat(xs:float("-3.4028235E38"),xs:float("3.4028235E38"))
 fn:concat(xs:int("-1873914410"),xs:int("-2147483648"))
 fn:concat(xs:int("-1873914410"))

I'd like to get something like this

fn.concat(-3.4028235E38,3.4028235E38);
fn.concat(-1873914410,-2147483648);
fn.concat(-1873914410);

Thank you. Your time is appreciated!

I want fn:concat() to be there, only fn:float() and fn:int() to be gone from each line — Sudhakar

You'll notice in your original file, it has a colon in fn:concat where your goal has a period in fn.concat. I take it that's a mistype. — Miller

in a quick and dirty one liner

perl -i -pe 's/\bxs:(?:float|int)\("(.*?)"\)/$1/g; s/(?<=\w):(?=\w)/./g;' file

Thank you! that works. On the side note, could you also please share the solution to get rid of the double quotes along with above regex as well?

Edited to remove double quotes as well.

Edited to translate colon to period in fn:concat

how to make fn:concat replacement dynamic. Basically I'd like to replace all functions that has colon : to dot .

are they always prefixed with fn?
