Hello.

I defined the following pattern for evaluating a date-string:


([0-9]{4}\-[0-9]{1,2}\-[0-9]{1,2})?

IMHO this should only allow something like 2009-03-12 or nothing!

But the XML-Validation (all engines) allows the following chars: a, e, n, p, r and t

i.e.

Code: Select all


<tag>a</tag>

is allowed.

Whats that

Btw: Oxygens inplaced RegEx-Konstruktor does not have this behavior.

Hello,

I tested your pattern in Oxygen both in the XML Schema regex builder tool (available on the Tools menu) and in an XML document validated against an XML Schema that specifies the pattern. It works correctly. Illegal characters like a, e, n, p, etc are reported as error. Can you post a sample schema for reproducing the problem?

The two patterns are ORed, not ANDed which means the following values are accepted: p, a, t, e, r, n, 2009-03-12, 1863-3-6, etc.
