xsd restriction error when validating xml

[rob4733]

Hi All,

Trying to validate xml file, however xsd restriction error results. Data should be valid for this rule though(any number of alphanumeric characters - up to 40 max).

Thoughts? Thx Robert

XSD pattern does not support the beginning and end of string anchors. It will probably work as expected by removing the caret and dollar symbols.

Thank You. This works. XSD was from a third party.

Much appreciated.
