Upgraded from V9.7.3 to V12, problem in xQuery search when node has a blank line
Dear All, I upgraded from v9.7.3 to v12 and all my queries are giving an error because of a simple problem. This is my XML: <xml><number integer="0"><number></xml> xQuery: for $b in //*[@integer] where $b = '' return replace value of node $b with '0' The above works without problems. It puts a zero and this is the result: <xml><number integer="0">0</number></xml> BUT if there is a CRLF in the <number> node it does not replace the node with a 0. <xml><number integer="0"> <number></xml> Now the same query does not work in v12. It works in v9.7.3, so I have had to downgrade. All my queries where I am looking for a blank node have stopped working. Could you please show me some option using which I can ignore the CRLF and continue searching for blank nodes the way I used to be in the past ?

Now the same query does not work in v12. It works in v9.7.3, so I have had to downgrade. All my queries where I am looking for a blank node have stopped working.

I think with previous versions the default XML parsing stripped whitespace while that is no longer the case. So look in the XML parser options in the BaseX documentation.

So setting https://docs.basex.org/main/Options#stripws to true would give you the old behaviour, I think.
Yes it works now. I did that. Thank you so much for your quick response. On Mon, Jul 7, 2025 at 3:36 PM Martin Honnen via BaseX-Talk < basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de> wrote:
