what's wrong with this schema definition?

[KK]

I have this portion in my schema definition:

<xsd:simpleType name="MyTimeType">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:dateTime">
<xsdattern value="\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3}-Z"/> <xsdattern value="\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3}+\d{2}:\d{2}"/> <xsdattern value="\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3}-\d{2}:\d{2}"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simepleType>

When I validate this with XMLSpy, it high-lights the second pattern and gives this error message:

"This schema doesn't appear to be valid by itself (as a part of anohter schema, it might still be OK): Schema error - invalid regular expression: \ expected at position 41"

Could someone tell what's wrong with this pattern?

thanks a lot.

Have you tried using
\+
instead of
+
The plus symbol is meta character thus you might need to escape it to have it literally included in the pattern

Thank you very much, that was dumb on my part
