Subject: [xsl] XPath 2.0 Regex misunderstanding From: cknell@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 11:35:54 -0500 |
I have a date element: example <DATE>11/01/2006</DATE> I'm trying to write an XPath 2.0 Regex to winnow some of the more obvious date format errors. I have tried for about a half-hour, and I admit to being stumped. Here is the relevant part of the template: <xsl:when test="matches(DATE,'[0-1][0-2]/[0-3][0-9]/2006')"><bad-date /></xsl:when> These dates passed the test: <DATE>07/18/2006</DATE> <DATE>07/12/2006</DATE> <DATE>09/25/2006</DATE> While these failed: <DATE>10/24/2006</DATE> <DATE>10/18/2006</DATE> <DATE>10/10/2006</DATE> <DATE>10/02/2006</DATE> <DATE>01/19/2006</DATE> It appears any value with a "1" in either the first or second position is failing. What I am trying to achieve is: First character is either a "0" or "1" Second character is in the range of 0-2 Third character is "/" Fourth character is in the range of 0-3 Fifth character is in the range of 0-9 Sixth character is "/" Text ends with the string "2006". Can someone point out where I'm going wrong? Thanks. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email
