[basex-talk] default concatenation of strings? BaseX 10.5

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings!




1493
1463
1497
1468
1463
1513
1473
1456
1499
1468
1461
1448
1501

1500
1464
1489
1464
1436
1503

.... (the file is quite long)

I'm converting Hebrew text, word by word, into code points, which is returned as: What I expect is described at: https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization/#sequence-normalization

I maybe very wrong but shouldn't that render the strings as?:

1493 1463 1497 1468 1463 1513 1473 1456 1499 1468 1461 1448 1501

and,

1500 1464 1489 1464 1436 1503



Then I tried:

for $char in $a

return ($char, " ")

Now I get:

1493


1463


1497

etc.



Thanks!

Patrick

"If the |item-separator| serialization parameter is absent, then for each subsequence of adjacent strings in /S_2 /, copy a single string to the new sequence equal to the values of the strings in the subsequence concatenated in order, each separated by a single space." I've tried using replace($a, "\n", " ") but it complains that $a is a sequence, which it is. I saw the new line settings under serialization but there didn't appear to be any way to defeat them altogether.
