Hi Folks, My input contains a person's name. The name is padded on the left and right with the forward slash ( / ) symbol, e.g.
///John/// I used textPadKind="padChar" and textStringPadCharacter="/" to direct Daffodil to remove the forward slashes: <xs:element name="SimpleDataFormat"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" dfdl:textPadKind="padChar" dfdl:textStringPadCharacter="/" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> Unfortunately, no slashes are removed: <SimpleDataFormat> <name>///John///</name> </SimpleDataFormat> Below is my complete schema. What am I doing wrong, please? /Roger <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:dfdl="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/dfdl-1.0/" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:annotation> <xs:appinfo source="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/"> <dfdl:format textBidi="no" separatorSuppressionPolicy="never" floating="no" encodingErrorPolicy="replace" outputNewLine="%CR;%LF;" leadingSkip="0" trailingSkip="0" alignment="1" alignmentUnits="bytes" textPadKind="none" textTrimKind="none" truncateSpecifiedLengthString="no" escapeSchemeRef="" representation="text" encoding="ASCII" lengthKind = "delimited" initiator = "" terminator = "" separator = "" ignoreCase = "yes" sequenceKind="ordered" initiatedContent="no" lengthUnits="characters" textStringJustification="center" /> </xs:appinfo> </xs:annotation> <xs:element name="SimpleDataFormat"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" dfdl:textPadKind="padChar" dfdl:textStringPadCharacter="/" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>
