Hi,

I just used XMLSpy  and the Topologi validator to validate the XML
document...

I've also tried another regular expression cause i couldnt get the the other
one working... Here it comes:

<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">

 <xsd:pattern
value="(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]{1}[0-9]{2}|[1-9]{1}[0-9]{1}|[1-9])\.(25[0-
5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]{1}[0-9]{2}|[1-9]{1}[0-9]{1}|[1-9]|0)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0
 -9]|[0-1]{1}[0-9]{2}|[1-9]{1}[0-9]{1}|[1-9]|0)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]{
1 }[0-9]{2}|[1-9]{1}[0-9]{1}|[0-9])"/>

</xsd:restriction>

It's a bit longer and complicated but it worked fine....

Thanks for ur time guys...
