Dear Christian,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
But as I stated in my original mail, I didn't plan to translate schema
definitions to regular expressions...
Neither did the validation module work as I hoped: Unfortunately the element in
question is defined locally, not globally ("Validation failed: Deklaration des
Elements 'BIC' kann nicht gefunden warden.").
So, back to regex, I suppose!
Best regards,
Ulrike.

Betreff: Re: [basex-talk] How to check an element's type against an XSD simple
type
Sorry, a last one: Here is the fixed version of the query:
declare variable $BIC-PATTERN :=
'^[A-Z]{6,6}[A-Z2-9][A-NP-Z0-9]([A-Z0-9]{3,3}){0,1}$';
let $node := <BIC>GEN0DEM1MPW</BIC>
return if(matches($node, $BIC-PATTERN)) then 'well done' else 'sigh'
Most importantly, you’ll have to wrap your regex pattern with ^ and $ in order
to ensure that there are no other heading or trailing characters in the BIC
string.
