Hi Will,
I might not be understanding what you are doing here, but here are a few ideas.
I think you can use that XPath in the first arg of cts:search, as long as you
do not put any variables in it. Something like this:
cts:search(//(a|b|c|d|e|f|g)[@foo = "bar"], "hello")
Also, in cts:query, you can do a cts:element-query with the
cts:element-attribute-query as its second arg. Something like:
cts:element-query((xs:QName("a"), xs:QName("b")),
cts:element-attribute-word-query((xs:QName("a"),
xs:QName("b")), xs:QName("foo"), "bar"))

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] xpath to cts query question
I'm trying to create the cts equivalent of essentially this:
//(a|b|c|d|e|f|g)[@attr = $val]
But it seems like I would have join multiple cts:search()s, one for each
element, since I only want the matching element, and not its parent (so I can't
do something like cts:search(//(a|b|c|d|e|f|g),
cts:element-attribute-value-query((xs:QName("a"),...,(xs:QName("g")),xs:QName("attr"),$val)).
cts:search(//a,
cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("a"),xs:QName("attr"),$val))
| cts:search(//b,
cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("b"),xs:QName("attr"),$val))
| cts:search(//c,
cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("c"),xs:QName("attr"),$val))
...
| cts:search(//g,
cts:element-attribute-value-query(xs:QName("g"),xs:QName("attr"),$val))
Is there a better way to do this?
Thank you!
-Will
