Re: [basex-talk] xml element beginning and end space loss
Hi Stefania,
Sorry for the delay.
If I run you example, I **think** it behaves as intended, all -Elements but
the one marked with xml:space are chopped.
This is what it looks like here:
> https://asciinema.org/a/4v1FtkeE1QsEByHe1S2BAZP9W
> michael@mbp:~/tmp/ml|⇒ cat example.xq
> db:create('test',
> "
> stefy
> stefy
> stefy
> ",
> "doc.xml"
> )
> michael@mbp:~/tmp/ml|⇒ basex example.xq
> michael@mbp:~/tmp/ml|⇒ basex "db:open('test')"
>
> stefy
> stefy
> stefy
> %
…if I add CHOP=false, the whitespace will be kept on all elements:
https://asciinema.org/a/IqUHE2hrhk0afjbPDi3jMgNVq
<https://asciinema.org/a/IqUHE2hrhk0afjbPDi3jMgNVq>
I am sure we will eventually be able to solve this mystery :-)
Best
Michael

Re: [basex-talk] xml element beginning and end space loss
thanks Michael
I run your suggestion and it seems to affect all the elements on my BaseX.
I also verified that the 'chop' property was still true after the
execution of the xquery
(> open test
Database 'test' was opened in 7.29 ms.
> get chop
CHOP: true)
db:create('test',
"
stefy
stefy
stefy
",
"doc.xml"
)
>>>>>
stefystefy
stefy
db:replace("test", "doc1.xml",
"
stefy
stefy
")
>>>>>
stefy
stefy
Am i missing something?
thanks

Hi & thanks Gerrit,
Hi Stefania,
You may even decide to chop-or-not on a per-element basis:
db:create('test',
"
stefy
stefy
",
"doc.xml"
)
Will preserve whitespace in the second -Element while chopping in the
first one.

Re: [basex-talk] xml element beginning and end space loss
Hi Stefania,
You can avoid it if you create the DB with chopping switched off in the
first place.
Or you can supply the chopping option as you go:
db:replace('MyDB', 'doc.xml', ' stefy ', map {'chop':false()})
Whitespace chooping by default is maybe the most-detested design
decision in BaseX, at least among users of mixed content.
Luckily you can switch it off.

Hi all!
is there a way to preserve the beginning and ending spaces in the

In other words If I execute this xQuery
db:replace("MyDB", "doc.xml", " stefy ")
the resulted document will be
stefy
As you can see I lost my beginner and ending spaces.

[basex-talk] xml element beginning and end space loss
Hi all!
is there a way to preserve the beginning and ending spaces in the Database
xml elements?
In other words If I execute this xQuery
db:replace("MyDB", "doc.xml", " stefy ")
the resulted document will be
stefy
As you can see I lost my beginner and ending spaces.
thanks
Stefania
