No, but might be able to give some suggestions...

I think you want sourceAttributeID="SPLIT_TITLE" if you want your ePSA 
to be based on the result of the splitting rather than the raw title 
attribute.

I think you have your dependencies backward if you want ePSA based on 
the first part of the title.  This one would be ref="SPLIT_TITLE".

You need a Java 5 regex, with the first match group assigned as the 
value... something like:

   regex="^(Student|Faculty|Staff)"

This one would ref="myLDAP".
