Problem with XSD Pattern Facet

[James Hardy]

Hello,
I am trying to restrict data by using the Pattern
restriction, no matter what pattern (reg exp) I set the
doc loads with non matching data.

XSD Sample:
<xsd:element name="est_ph1" type="phoneType"/>
....
<xsd:simpleType name="phoneType">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:pattern value="[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{7}"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

VB Code Sample:

Set doc.schemas = schemaCache
doc.async = False
doc.validateOnParse = True
strXMLin = "<est_ph1>asdkfjhasdjh</ext_ph1>"
If Not doc.loadXML(strXMLIn) Then do something

no parse error is raised.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I tried the following with your pattern, though not with exactly same schema
as yours. Anyway it works.

set xmldoc = createobject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0")
set SchemaCache = createobject("Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache.4.0")
xmldoc.async = false
SchemaCache.add "", "pattern.xsd"
xmldoc.schemas = SchemaCache
if not xmldoc.load("pattern.xml") then msgbox "err"
