Kashif, You need to get XML into the system to use XQuery - XQuery does not work on strings that happen to have XML in them, but on XML documents. MarkLogic adds "unquote," "document-insert" etc. because there is now method in the XQuery spec to add XML.
You must use implementation-specific methods to get the XML into the system in the first place because XQuery as a spec does not define add/insert functions.

Yes I looked into that but the problem is that I can not use any MarkLogic functions.

Danny I am trying to resolve a problem where I have to convert text string into the tag name and then use that to extract the value from the XML.

Then you can just use XPath.

Hello Everyone, I am having a problem extracting value from an element Here is the XML on which I am trying to run my query Let $document := "<report> <body> <row> <ChapterTitle>Front Matter</ChapterTitle> </row </body> </report>" These are the functions that I have written to extract the value of the "ChapterTitle" Tag declare function oxy:getHierarchyElements() { let $TagName := "Chapter Title" (:removing the space between Chapter and Title:) let $tokenizedString := fn:tokenize(($TagName), '\s') let $concatString := fn:concat($tokenizedString[1], $tokenizedString[2]) return element {$concatString} {''} }; declare function oxy:getLevel($document as xs:string){ let $file := doc($document) let $hierarchy := oxy:getHierarchyElements() return $file/report/body/row/$hierarchy }; When I call oxy:getLevel($oxy:document) I get <ChapterTitle/> instead of "Front Matter" from the XML file. If I replace $file/report/body/row/$hierarchy with $file/report/body/row/ChapterTitle I get the correct value.
