Hi,
I have been working with a collection of XML files, trying to make changes using the copy clause. It may happen that sometimes I get an error message because of one of the files I am trying to change. My question is whether there is a way to know which file and at which line/column the error occurs. I have tried try/catch but it seems not to be designed for this (or am I missing something here?). Thanks!
Best, Joseph
Hi Joseph,
or am I missing something here?
I guess so; Did you check the documentation of the function [1,2]?

Hi Christian,
I use all the $err but the line error refers to the one inside my query not that of the file where the query cannot be applied (more precisely, a node cannot be replaced more than once, but I do not know where this problematic node is in my files)

With “file”, do you mean an XML document? That’s not possible indeed. Maybe you can show us how your query looks like?

Yes, I mean the XML file. I using a query like the following. There are nodes for which the replace updating expression does not work, and I do not know how to identify the file(s) where the problem is. I could simply try to exclude files from the collection until the query works, but I was wondering whether there is a more intelligent way to do that. Thanks!
try {
for $f in collection("/mycollection/") return copy $e := $f modify ( for $x in $e//C[text()="*"][./following-sibling::C[matches(., "\p{L}")]] let $y := $x/(following-sibling::C[matches(., "\p{L}")])[1] return replace value of node $y with upper-case($y) ) return $e } catch * { 'Error [' || $err:code || ']: ' || $err:description || ',' || $err:module ||',' ||$err:line-number || ','|| $err:column-number || ','|| $err:value || ','|| $err:additional }

Something like this might do the trick (it only works if the C elements have no descendant C elements):
for $f in collection("/mycollection/") return copy $e := $f modify ( for $c in $e//C[text() = "*"]/ (following-sibling::C[matches(., "\p{L}")])[1] return replace value of node $c with upper-case($c) ) return $e
By collecting all relevant nodes in a single path expression, duplicates will be filtered out.

Seems to work! Thanks!
