Re: [basex-talk] Add line-number function
This is definitely something you can do in XQuery itself. Just a
little example, to get you started (shorter suggestions are welcome):
let $text := text { 'this is an example' }
let $snippets := analyze-string($text, ' ')/*
let $starts := (0, fold-left($snippets, (), function($list, $result) {
let $length := string-length($result)
return if(empty($list)) then (
$length
) else (
($list, $list[last()] + $length)
)
}))
for $snippet at $pos in $snippets
where local-name($snippet) = 'non-match'
return {
$snippet/text() }

the following works

I am not sure what you need. Do you talk about fn:path? What could the
character offset be / do you have an example?

Re: [basex-talk] Add line-number function
fn:node() returns the path to a node (including the text node): Is there a
similar function to get character offsets within a text node?
I am thinking of a case where, for example, one tokenizes a text within an
element and would like to get the xpath + offsets for every token.

Re: [basex-talk] Add line-number function
Hi Symantis,
The original line numbers are not stored in XML databases (they may
change after updated, and would consume additional memory), so you
won’t be able to retrieve them with XQuery.
As far as I know, this does not work in eXist-db either; the eXist
link you referenced gives you the line of the util:line-number
expression in your XQuery module. As Fabrice pointed out (thanks!),
this could also be realized with $err:line-number.
With Saxon, it works indeed. However, you’ll need you use the -l
command line option (otherwise, due to performance considerations,
line numbers will be discarded as well).
On query/database level, there are two ways to get a direct reference:
• With fn:path, you get an XPath expression that points to your node.
• With db:node-pre [1], you get a direct reference to the node in a database.
Best,
Christian
