Tesing number of decimal digits in schematron

[Iwicka]

Hi,

I have another interesting Schematron issue: I need to test that the numeric value should have not more than 3 decimal positions. The data type is xsd:decimal, so there may be also no decimal digits, which makes it more difficult to check (to me anyway). My XML is:

Code: Select all

<A>

<measurement>

<height>5.11</height>

</measurement>

<measurement>

<height>5</height>

</measurement>

</A>

The correct values would be: 5, 5.1, 5.11, but not 5.111

I created the following test using regular expression:

Code: Select all

    

        <sch:rule context="//measurement">

            <sch:assert test="height[matches(., '[\.][\d]{2}$')]">Maximum 2 decimal digits are allowed</sch:assert>

        </sch:rule>

but this requires exactly 2 decimals, which is not the intention. How can I say 0, 1 or 2 decimal digits?

Best Regards,

Ewa

Hi Ewa,

this should work

The test counts the chars after the '.'.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<sch:schema xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" queryBinding="xslt2"

    xmlns:sqf="http://www.schematron-quickfix.com/validator/process">

    <sch:pattern>

        <sch:rule context="measurement">

            <sch:report test="string-length(normalize-space(substring-after(., '.'))) gt 3">

                More than 3 decimal positions

            </sch:report>

        </sch:rule>

    </sch:pattern>

</sch:schema>
