I have a field in which I want to limit allowed characters to alpha letters, whitespace, digits, ampersands, and semicolons.
regex [A-Za-z0-9\s;&]* test string >abc1 23> When I try the above regular expression online at http://www.fileformat.info/tool/regex.htm It shows it to be valid. Arguably, the engine is a Java regex engine, but I would hope it to be close. When I compile my schema with scomp, it fails on the ampersand, seeming to think it is an escape for following characters. This is the error message I get: error: Unexpected character encountered (lex state 12): ']' I've tried several combinations, and all seem to fail with the same type of error. It also fails to validate on the W3c site. Is there something I'm missing?
