Re: [basex-talk] csv:parse in the age of XQuery 3.1

Joe, just in case it is of interest to you: the TopicTools framework, downloadable at    https://github.com/hrennau/topictools contains an XQuery-implemented, full-featured csv parser (module _csvParser.xqm, 212 lines). Writing XQuery tools using the framework, the parser is automatically added

Re: [basex-talk] csv:parse in the age of XQuery 3.1

Hi Joe, My concern is that a single regex, no matter how complex, won’t do justice to parse arbitary CSV data. The CSV input we got so far for testing was simply too diverse (I spent 10% of my time into implementing a basic CSV parser in BaseX, and 90% into examining these special cases, and

Re: [basex-talk] csv:parse in the age of XQuery 3.1

Joe, concerning your regex, I would complain, too! Already the first two characters     (?render the expression invalid:(1) An unescaped ? is an occurrence indicator, making the preceding entity optional(2) An unescaped ( is used for grouping, it does not repesent anything => there is no

My surprise ended up with the finding that I introduced an error while gradually preparing our code for (the long path to) query precompilation. Thanks! It has been fixed [1]. Cheers Christian (just the name, btw, not the confession ;) [1] http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/ On Sun, Sep

Re: [basex-talk] csv:parse in the age of XQuery 3.1

Thanks for your replies and interest, Hans-Jürgen, Marc, Vincent, and Christian. The other day, short of a comprehensive solution, I went in search of a regex that would handle quoted values that contain commas that shouldn't serve as delimiters. I found one that worked in eXist but not in

Re: [basex-talk] csv:parse in the age of XQuery 3.1

Hans-Jürgen, I figured as much. I wonder if we can come up with an xsd-compliant regex for this purpose? It may not give us a full-featured CSV parser, but would handle reasonably uniform cases. Joe Sent from my iPhone On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 3:39 PM -0400, "Hans-Juergen Rennau"

Re: [basex-talk] Using the same database in many BaseX instances

Hi there, Sorry, I lost track (but at least I’m back)… Does this also happen with newer versions of BaseX, such as with the latest release or the latest snapshot [1]? Thanks in advance, Christian [1] http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/ On Wed, Aug 24, 2016 at 3:19 PM, Dirk Kirsten

Re: [basex-talk] question on starting multiple instance of basex

Hi Genneva, See [1] for more details on how to overwrite global options (such as the database directory) in BaseX. Best Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options#DBPATH On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 12:03 PM, Wang, Genneva wrote: > Hi > > I’m trying to set up to having

Re: [basex-talk] csv:parse in the age of XQuery 3.1

Hi Joe, Thanks for your mail. You are completely right, using an array would be the natural choice with csv:parse. It’s mostly due to backward compatibility that we didn’t update the function. @All: I’m pretty sure that all of us would like having an EXPath spec for parsing CSV data. We still

Re: [basex-talk] 8.5.3 and xquery:invoke ...

Hi Marco, thanks Vincent, At first glance, I am surprised that file:base-uri() is required here, basically because I would expect both variants to resolve to the same directory. I will check it in more detail soon. On Sat, Sep 3, 2016 at 11:18 AM, Marco Lettere wrote: >
