That's what I was suspecting. I just saw that I sent my reply only to Andreas, so here it is again:
Might have sth to do with shell interpolation? If you use single quotes around the -c option's argument, the shell won't try to expand $i to (presumably) the empty string.
Jan's example might have worked because he used another type of shell.

Just a guess, maybe your Shell is escaping some special characters?

Hi Hector, Hi Jan,
i can reproduce the error with BaseX 6.6.1...strange.
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Padmin -c"xquery let $i := 10 return $i" Error: Stopped at line 1, column 12: Syntax: XQUERY [query] Evaluate XQuery.
We will have a look at it.

Hi Hector I run query like you, only using my existing database name and counting my elements, which exists there and I had no problem. I suspected that before : shall be a space, but this is not the case, it makes no difference in my test:
D:\opt\BaseX>java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Padmin -c"open ISO;xquery <results>{ let $total:=count(//LOCT) return <total>{$total}</total>}</results>"
<results> <total>1487</total> </results>
I use BaseX version 6.6.1
- What version of BaseX do you use?
- Are you sure you run the same version for server and for the client? Once I had troubles mixing different versions.
With best regards

Hello, I am trying to run some Xqueries from command line but I am getting the following error: $ java -cp "C:\Program Files\BaseX\BaseX.jar" org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Pa dmin -c"open dbname;xquery <results>{ let $total:=count(//callRecords/*) return <t otal>{$total}</total>}</results>" Error: Stopped at line 1, column 30: [XPST0003] Expecting "}", found ":". If I run the query from the GUI it runs correctly, but here I am always getting this error. I tried running other dummy queries that work in the GUI but here I get an error like this: $ java -cp "C:\Program Files\BaseX\BaseX.jar" org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Pa dmin -c"open dbname;xquery let $total := count(//callRecords/*) return $total" Error: Stopped at line 1, column 23: Syntax: XQUERY [query] Evaluate XQuery. Any idea of how to solve this? Is it possible to use let in queries from command? Thanks in advance for your help.
