Hi,
I have a string(6-240 characters) for which I need to check that each of the characters is a valid ASCII character. Any ideas?

Thank You,

Ilan

Hi,

You can have something like:

Code: Select all


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

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

    <xs:element name="test" type="test"/>

    <xs:simpleType name="test">

        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">

            <xs:pattern value="(\p{IsBasicLatin})*"/>

            <xs:maxLength value="240"/>

            <xs:minLength value="6"/>

        </xs:restriction>

    </xs:simpleType>

</xs:schema>

This will accept between 6 and 240 ASCII characters as the content of the test element.

Hope that helps,
George
