I believe '\b' is equivalent to "start of line OR end of line OR
non-word". This seems to work with 4.1-1:
xquery version "1.0-ml";
let $pat := '(^|\W)xxx(\W|$)'
for $test in ('xxx', 'a xxx b', 'xxxz xxx', 'xxx xxxz')
return replace($test, $pat, '$1yyy$2')
=>
yyy
a yyy b
xxxz yyy
yyy xxxz

Hi,
In Marklogic when i tried to use regular expression \b (word boundary) in replace
function, its throwing an exception saying that "Invalid regular expression".
Code - fn:replace('organize the annual get-together','\bthe\b'," ")
The main purpose is to replace the word "the" with an empty string. But the string
"the" in the word together should not get replaced.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Judie
