Attached is the proposal for the regular
expression syntax used to determine element length.
Highlights
- Based on the XML Schema regular expression
subset used by WebSphere Message Broker.
- Only applies to representation = text
- Uses LengthPattern property rather than
decorated syntax to distinguish from literals and regular expressions as
it is only used in one place, this avoids everywhere else having to escape
the decoration character and we are running out of decoration characters.
- Assumes the pattern is converted to
the data code page before matching against the data stream.
Comments and improvements as soon
as possible please.
