Options for ft:search
by Sebastian Zimmer 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hi, I'd like to request a feature concerning the ft:search method: An `lserror` option that works exactly like the global option `LSERROR`. It would be nice if we could set the maximum Levenshtein distance specifically for each fuzzy search without having to adjust the global option. Another question on ft:search: Is there a reason why it doesn't have a `case` option just like ft:contains has one? Best regards, Sebastian

Feature Request: Save untitled, open scripts when exiting GUI
by Andreas Mixich 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

SublimeText has this nifty feature, that it saves all open tabs, even if the have no representation on the filesystem, so one can continue exactly, where one has left off. I find myself often to have several, unnamed, XQueries open, to test this concept, to compose that function, etc. It would be nice, if one could simply shut off and have them reopened next time without naming a file and saving each item in question. -- Minden jót, all the best, Alles Gute, Andreas Mixich

Hi, I have the following query: count( for $r in doc("hib_parses.xml")//row let $i := doc("hib_lemmas.xml")//row[field[@name="lemma_lang_id"][. = "3"]] where $r/field[@name="lemma_id"] = $i/field[@name="lemma_id"] return $r ) I have noticed that the where clause needs to be changed into $r/field[@name="lemma_id"]/text() = $i/field[@name="lemma_id"]/text() in order to get a result (otherwise the query seems to never end). I am wondering whether this is a BaseX issue, in that I would assume that the two kinds of where clause are equivalent (because of atomization). I have also noticed that /data() does not work either. Thanks! Best, Giuseppe

I have been given control of xqDoc from Darin McBeath
by Loren Cahlander 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Hello folks, June of 2018, I updated the xqDoc codebase to be able to handle the additions to the language for XQuery 3.1 and most of the vendor specific language extensions. I updated the parser to Antlr 4. Darin McBeath, the creator of xqDoc, asked me if I wanted to take over the domain. I accepted. I will be updating the website http://xqDoc.org and would like to get the community’s input. What changes would people like to see in the website? xqDoc’s GitHub is officially at http://github.com/xqdoc Thank you, Loren Cahlander

executing windows command
by Dieter Zanzinger 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hello all, I tried to execute a windows command with proc:execute(). See my module: ——— module namespace _ ='process'; declare %rest:path('treez/proc') function _:process() { prof:dump( proc:execute('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\winword.exe','/q') ) }; declare %rest:path('treez/proc_dir') function _:process2() { proc:execute('dir','\’) ———— While function process() works as expected and opens winword, the function process2() (example from the docs) leads to following error: <result> <error> Cannot run program "dir": CreateProcess error=2, Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden </error> </result> Any hints? As process() works and opens winword, I prosume that the error does not come from my installation (Win10, Tomcat 9.0, BaseX 9 - war version). Starting Tomcat as admin does not change anything.

Exception shown on fn:doc with XML document
by Stefan Pöschel 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Hello, the XPath function "fn:doc" in BaseX can also be used to open a database (instead of an XML document). However when I open an XML document and have debug messages enabled, an exception is shown that seems to be related to an (unsuccessful) attempt to open a database (meanwhile the fn:doc command itself succeeds): ----- org.basex.core.BaseXException: Database 'test.xml' was not found. at org.basex.core.cmd.Open.open(Open.java:92) at org.basex.query.QueryResources.data(QueryResources.java:405) at org.basex.query.QueryResources.doc(QueryResources.java:207) at org.basex.query.func.fn.Docs.doc(Docs.java:61) at org.basex.query.func.fn.FnDoc.item(FnDoc.java:17) at org.basex.query.func.StandardFunc.optimize(StandardFunc.java:82) at org.basex.query.expr.Arr.compile(Arr.java:43) at org.basex.query.func.StaticFunc.comp(StaticFunc.java:69) at org.basex.query.QueryCompiler.compile(QueryCompiler.java:114) at org.basex.query.QueryCompiler.compile(QueryCompiler.java:105) at org.basex.query.QueryContext.compile(QueryContext.java:312) at org.basex.query.QueryContext.iter(QueryContext.java:331) at org.basex.http.restxq.RestXqResponse.serialize(RestXqResponse.java:73) at org.basex.http.web.WebResponse.create(WebResponse.java:63) at org.basex.http.restxq.RestXqServlet.run(RestXqServlet.java:53) at org.basex.http.BaseXServlet.service(BaseXServlet.java:65) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:790) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHolder.handle(ServletHolder.java:865) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doHandle(ServletHandler.java:542) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:146) at org.eclipse.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:548) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:132) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.nextHandle(ScopedHandler.java:257) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doHandle(SessionHandler.java:1700) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.nextHandle(ScopedHandler.java:255) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doHandle(ContextHandler.java:1345) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.nextScope(ScopedHandler.java:203) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doScope(ServletHandler.java:480) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doScope(SessionHandler.java:1667) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.nextScope(ScopedHandler.java:201) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doScope(ContextHandler.java:1247) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:144) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:132) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server.handle(Server.java:505) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpChannel.handle(HttpChannel.java:370) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConnection.onFillable(HttpConnection.java:267) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.AbstractConnection$ReadCallback.succeeded(AbstractConnection.java:305) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.FillInterest.fillable(FillInterest.java:103) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.ChannelEndPoint$2.run(ChannelEndPoint.java:117) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool.runJob(QueuedThreadPool.java:698) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool$Runner.run(QueuedThreadPool.java:804) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) ----- Please find attached a minimal test XQM and a corresponding XML document. Both files have to be stored in the "webapp" subfolder of the folder from which BaseX is called. With the option "WITHDB = false" in ".basex", the exception doesn't occur (which is not surprising). However I think that the exception shouldn't show up in the debug output here at all, as the fn:doc command actually succeeds (and as it "pollutes" the output). I use BaseX 9.2.4 on Linux; the used cmdline is "basexhttp -d".
