Finally all caught up.... (Who says English isn't pro-drop?)
osisWorkType has a pattern of:
((\p{L} | \p{N} | _)*(\.(\p{L} | \p{N} | _)*)?
I think what is desired is:
((\p{L}|\p{N}|_)*)(\.(\p{L}|\p{N}|_)*)*
There are three changes:
1) The close parenthesis following the first asterisk is needed to make it
a valid regex at all
2) The spaces that surround each | are removed because they cause the
requirement of actual spaces in the osisWork. (like "B i b l e .K J V
. 1 6 1 1 ")
3) The final "?" was changed to a "*" to allow thinks like
"Bible.KJV.1611.etc.etc" rather than just a 1 or 2 component osisWork like
"Bible.KJV" or "Bible". "?" == {0,1} while "*" == {0,}.
I haven't checked other regexes, but they may need to be checked for
conformance to these last 2 points. XML Spy says the schema is valid, so
there shouldn't be any other missing parentheses in regexes.
