Re: [basex-talk] xquery:eval() required in replace()?

Hi Graydon,

...

$menuMatch gets stripped out of the Word because it's added by processing, rather than being present in the source file which generates the other half of the compare. (It's currently U+1405, ᐅ, though I devoutly hope this doesn't matter!)

You’ll need to remove the single quotes from $menuMatch (it yields 'ᐅ'). Apart from that, $stringTidy can possibly be simplified:

ARGH.

Thank you!

let $stringTidy := function($in) { $in => string-join(' ') => replace($menuMatch, '') => normalize-space() => replace(' ([,.;:])', '$1') }

Yes. When I started it wasn't clear if I wanted all of normalize-space() or not, and then it just grew.

Much appreciated!
