Hi Graydon,

  $c/descendant::text()[normalize-space]

Maybe it should be as follows?

  $c/descendant::text()[normalize-space()]

Cheers,

Christian

Hello!

I'm using BaseX 9.1.1 on Linux.

So I need to go through a whole bunch of documents and emit them in an obfusticated form so the folks doing publication development can have them without the client's security people becoming upset.  I don't want to obfusticate the db contents; I just want to be able to write out an obfusticated version.

Minimal example:

declare function local:gib($in as text()) as text() {

  text { 'ABCD' }

};

declare function local:obfusc($in as document-node()) as document-node() {

    copy $c := $in

    modify (

      for $x in $c/descendant::text()[normalize-space] 

      return replace node $x with local:gib($x)

    )

    return $c

};

for $doc in db:open('out')[contains(document-uri(),'/scr_')][1]

  let $blurred := local:obfusc($doc)

  return $blurred

If I run this, I get $doc back unaltered.  If I look at the optimized query, it looks like it ought to be changing things.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Graydon
