Hi Gary,
I should've tested my assumption; I'm wrong about the bug. While fn:string vs
text() is still good advice, this test case shows it's not the problem:
let $seq1 := ('a', 'b','c')
let $doc := <doc><n>a</n><n>c</n></doc>
let $seq2 := $doc/n/text()
return distinct-values($seq1[.=$seq2])
Have you confirmed that your cts:search() expression is returning results? I
noticed a default element namespace in your second example; that also applies
to your cts:search() (which could be problematic, depending on your documents).
Sorry for the jumping the gun ;)

Hi Gary,
The comparison fails because you're comparing text nodes to strings. Try
replacing /text() with /fn:string().
On a more general note, you rarely want to use the text() selector; fn:string()
is almost always a better choice:

Thanks.

My simple test works so it’s probably something else I’m not seeing:
declare default element namespace
"http://developer.envisn.com/xmlns/envisn/netvisn/";;
let$seq1 := ('a', 'b','c')
let$doc :=<doc><n>a</n><n>c</n></doc>
let$seq2 :=$doc/n
returndistinct-values($seq1[.=$seq2])

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] comparing sequences
Hi,
Probably not ML specific but hoping someone can help. I’m having an issue
comparing sequence of strings:
let $seq1 = (‘a’,’b’,’c’)
with the results of a query
let $seq2 := cts:search(doc(), $cqf, "unfiltered")/doc/value/text()
but this finds no results when it should:
let $intersection := distinct-values(seq1 [.=$seq2])
The intersection between two manual sequences works. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Gary
