Validator: Using "<" and ">" in a mask

["Niebert, Tanja" <Ta...@t-systems.com>]

Hi,

I want to create a mask validation where I allow alphanumeric characters plus the "<" and ">" signs. Using "\<" and "\>" doesn't work. I get an exception saying, that the XML-File is not well formed.

This is how my expression looks like:

<var>
     <var-name>mask</var-name>
     <var-value>^[0-9a-zA-Z\<\>]*$</var-value>
</var>

Thanks for your help

Tanja

This is not valide xml, maybe you can try:

 <var-value>^[0-9a-zA-Z&lt;&gt;]*$</var-value>

Hope this will help, I did not test it.
