Readers,
For an xml file:
...
<book
category="WEB"
>
<title
lang="en"
>
Learning XML
</title>
<author>Erik T. Ray</author>
<year>2003</year>
<price>39.95</price>
</book>
...
An xquery file was created and processed using jedit xml plugins:
<html>
<body>
<p>
{
let $x :=
fn:doc("xmldatabasefile.xml")/bookstore/book/title[contains(text(),'XML')]/parent::*
return $x
}
</p>
</body>
</html>
Xpath1 specification ยง 4.2 string functions
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#section-String-Functions) describes a
"contains" function, but this was not found in xpath2; what is the
equivalent function in xpath2 please?
The resultant output:
<html>
<body>
<p>
<book category="WEB">
<title lang="en">
Learning XML
</title>
<author>Erik T. Ray</author>
<year>2003</year>
<price>39.95</price>
</book>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Is it possible to remove the xml elements from the output file?
An alternative xquery was attempted:
...<p>
{
let $x :=
fn:doc("xmldatabasefile.xml")/bookstore/book/title/text()
return $x
}
</p>...
Resultant output:
...<p>
Everyday Italian
Harry Potter
XQuery Kick Start
Learning XML
</p>...
Is it possible to select a specific title text with this xquery syntax?
