You need to put an
<xsd:element ...>
here that then can have an xsd:complexType as its child.
Currently you have an xsd:sequence with an xsd:element child (which is
allowed) followed by an xsd:complexType (which is not allowed in the
sequence).

It might however be that you want

<xsd:complexType name="RegexTypes">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="RegexType" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>

that is you want to define the contents of the RegexType element as a
complexType.

thank you very much! you are right on what I wanted.


I got around it by creating the element RegexType of complex RegexTypes and
then specify the complex type RegextTypes

<xsd:complexType name="RegexTypes">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="RegexType" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xsd:complexType> <!--
