Sini,
*Inside* marklogic it's better to think of XML documents as trees, rather than
strings. When you ask for the XML, MarkLogic will serialize the tree to a
string that represents the tree, but internally it is a hierarchical data
structure, which is why it is so powerful.
Try:
let $phone := <phone>T</phone>
return
<document>
mixed in text, which is unusual in structured content, but common in HTML
{ $phone }
<notes> another structured field, which you could also put in using braces.
braces "escape" out to regular XQuery from inside direct XML constructs like
this one</notes>
</document>
This is actually a set of nested expressions. The outermost expression is a
FLWOR. The return clause in the FLWOR is a single XML construction expression
using a direct element constructor (see:
http://blog.davidcassel.net/2011/10/element-constructors-computed-and-direct/),
and the {} enclose normal XQuery. XQuery has two syntactic modes - one for
inside direct XML element expression and one everywhere else, and the {}
toggles into the normal mode.
In any case, remember that these expressions are using XML strings as syntax
but are building tree data structures.
Yours,
Damon

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] string-join output not as expected
Yes!!! this is exactly what I want. But I need to perform string join to this
symbol. Is there a way to do that?
Because, I have a lot many variables to be inserted to the root node value
after concatenation.
Thanks,
Sini

Hi Sini,
I think you are looking for something like this:
let $phonesymbol := <SYMB>T</SYMB>
let $tel := "03 22 24 08 49"
return
<root>France - {$phonesymbol} {$tel} - 14h-18h - closed.</root>
Your phonesymbol really isn't a string, so don't use string-join or concat, but
insert it into the parent tree as a node.
Kind regards,
Geert

I need this to be inserted as a value of a node.
for example:
<root>France - <SYMB> T </ SYMB> 03 22 24 08 49 - 14h-18h - closed.</root>
Thanks,

Are you trying to insert the phone symbol as a node or as a string in a
document where the content is mixed?
Can you provide a better example of the xml file and how you want this to fit
in it?

Hi Tim,
I get the output as <SYMB>T</SYMB> test
Is it not possible to get it as <SYMB>T</SYMB> test ?
I'm inserting this values in an xml file.
Thanks,
Sini

First of all your symbol needs to be a string and not a node. Secondly you
need to use the correct syntax for string-join:
let $phonesymbol := "<SYMB>T</SYMB>"
return fn:string-join(($phonesymbol, "test"), " ")

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] string-join output not as expected
Hi,
I have the following code
let $phonesymbol := <SYMB>T</SYMB>
return
$phonesymbol
output : <SYMB>T</SYMB>
let $phonesymbol := <SYMB>T</SYMB>
return
fn:string-join($phonesymbol || " " || "test")
output : T test
How do I modify this to get the output as "<SYMB>T</SYMB> text"
Thanks,
Sini
