I have the awful feeling that I'm missing something really obvious, but I want to be able to get the pathname of the current query, and I can't figure out how. The use case is that the query validates documents in the collection differently, based on the document element, and I want to refer to the different schema files (which sit, on the file system, right next to the file with the query in it) in a machine-independent way. So instead of let $decisionSchema := '/home/graydon/workspace/Content Standards/schemas/decisions_schema.xsd' I'd like to be able to say something like let $decisionSchema := concat(string-join(tokenize(get-query-path(),'/')[position() ne last()],'/'),'/decisions_schema.xsd') only I can't figure out what get-query-path() is. Thanks! Graydon

For many Query engines it won't be defined. You could try constructing an element and asking for its base URI I suppose. Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml
Thanks Liam, you are right, the shortest way to achieve should be the following:
let $path-to-query-file := base-uri(<_/>)

Hi Graydon, you may as well want to use the static-base-uri() function (“static” refers to the given query file and not the database context). Christian ___________________________ On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 12:07 PM, Michael Seiferle <ms@basex.org> wrote:

I certainly do want to use static-base-uri(); thank you! Next time, I need to read the function definitions more slowly. :) -- Graydon On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 4:26 AM, Christian Grün <christian.gruen@gmail.com>wrote:
