Deepak,
I suggest something like this:
<group name="lookAheadForDot">
<sequence>
<annotation><appinfo source="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/";>
<!-- Look ahead for 5th character to be a literal "." -->
<dfdl:discriminator testKind='pattern' testPattern='....\.' />
</appinfo></annotation>
</sequence>
</group>
Then in your schema for handling the lines, assuming they're just strings
something like this:
<choice>
<sequence>
<group ref="p:lookAheadForDot"/>
<element name="lineWithDot" type="xs:string" dfdl:terminator="%NL;"/>
</sequence>
<sequence dfdl:hiddenGroupRef="p:lineNoDot"/>
</choice>
<group name="lineNoDot">
<sequence>
<element name="lineNoDot" type="xs:string" dfdl:terminator="%NL;"/>
</sequence>
</group>
This creates an infoset that parses lines with dot, parses lines without
dot, but doesn't include the lines without the dot
in the infoset at all.
