From: Abel Braaksma <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 19:22:04 +0200 Costello, Roger L. wrote: Excellent! With this: matches(flt:Aircraft/flt:Altitude, '[0-9]+') I can do datatype checking, without using XML Schemas. Not really (as Florent pointed out already). And be aware, it does not check for an xs:integer, it only checks for the existence of one or more digits inside an item. Matching are: '123ABC', 'ABC123', 'ABC1ZYX' etc. To match only digits, you must supply it with start/end matches, like so: matches(flt:Aircraft/flt:Altitude, '^[0-9]+$') Furthermore, it does not do the same as 'castable as'. Because a string like '1E10' is an xs:double which is castable as xs:integer. To make matters worse, the xs:string containing '1E10' cannot be cast to xs:integer directly (meaning 'castable as' would return false), it must first be converted to xs:double. Since you can only use matches() on strings, stuff like this cannot be mimicked with it. -- Abel Braaksma http://www.nuntia.com Current Thread RE: [XSLT 2.0] Checking that an element's value has the desired datatype?, (continued) Michael Kay - 16 Oct 2006 19:39:23 -0000 Costello, Roger L. - 16 Oct 2006 23:22:39 -0000 bryan rasmussen - 17 Oct 2006 01:59:30 -0000 Dimitre Novatchev - 16 Oct 2006 17:10:01 -0000 Abel Braaksma - 16 Oct 2006 17:22:46 -0000 <= Abel Braaksma - 16 Oct 2006 15:43:54 -0000 Joe Fawcett - 16 Oct 2006 15:47:10 -0000 Abel Braaksma - 16 Oct 2006 16:02:47 -0000 Mukul Gandhi - 16 Oct 2006 16:00:28 -0000 <- Previous Index Next -> Re: [XSLT 2.0] Checking that , Dimitre Novatchev Thread Re: Rename Some Node and attr, Abel Braaksma Re: [XSLT 2.0] Checking that , Dimitre Novatchev Date Re: XSL and XML Help, Florent Georges Month
