grouping by fuzzy match?
by Graydon Saunders 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hello -- Is there some way to assign the abstraction of a fuzzy match to a variable, so that something like for $x in //p let $key := get-fuzzy-match-value($x) group by $key return <similar-paragraphs>{$x}</similar-paragraphs> would be possible? I'm supposing this is one of those things that's either easy or impossible. Thanks! Graydon

Progress bar
by Giuseppe G. A. Celano 11 Nov '20

I have written a BaseX script (which applies a few functions to files in a directory), which I run at the command line. Is there a "trick" to get a progress bar for that (other than calling BaseX from a different programming language having some progress bar library)? Thanks. Best, Giuseppe

Versioning in BaseX
by Rob 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Hi all, I first created an Github Issue for this question, but that’s not the right play :) So hereby my question: I was wondering how versioning works in BaseX. So I have a XML file, I store another version of that same XML file and within BaseX there is some kind of versioning so I can retrieve both versions of the XML file. I look into your mail archive, and I found the following mail: https://www.mail-archive.com/basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de/msg07369.ht… <https://www.mail-archive.com/basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de/msg07369.ht…> Here it states that with using database metadata (Database Module, https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Module <https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Module>), you can achieve versioning. But I don't see anything about it in the documentation. So I was wondering if it is a thing in BaseX (versioning), and how it's accomplished 👍 Thanks! Kind regards, Rob Tjalma

archive:extract-text($archive, $entries) not returning all expected items
by James Ball 01 Nov '20

Hello, I’m getting unexpected results using the Archive module when extracting multiple entries in one call: archive:extract-text($archive,$entries) For example what I’m doing is taking an archive with, say, 1000 entries, selecting a subset of those, say 100, and then calling archive:extract-text with that subset. I’d expect to get 100 results but I get perhaps 97. I know that all the content is in the archive - if I try to extract one of the missing items directly it’ll be returned. It seems to be an issue asking for lots at once. Has anyone come across this? What is staring me in the face that I’m missing? I’ve put a small SSCE at the end of this message that shows the issue - I get something like this returned: "Entries found: 100 Number of content items returned (bulk): 97 Number of content items returned (individual): 100" Many thanks for any help. Regards, James Running BaseX 9.4, 9.4.3 on macOS. let $zipPath := "demo.zip" let $start := 0 let $number := 100 (: Create a zip file with 1000 entries - each entry being just a UUID as the same path :) let $uuids := (1 to 1000) ! random:uuid() let $zipOut := file:write-binary($zipPath,archive:create($uuids,$uuids)) (: Read the zip file :) let $archive := file:read-binary($zipPath) (: Get all the entries that meet the criteria - here based on position :) let $entries := archive:entries($archive)[$start < position() and position() <= $start+$number] let $count := count($entries) let $contents := archive:extract-text($archive,$entries) let $contents2 := for $entry in $entries return archive:extract-text($archive,$entry) return concat( "Entries found: ", count($entries), " Number of content items returned (bulk): ", count($contents), " Number of content items returned (individual): ", count($contents2) )

Ik ben me er niet van bewust dat ik me ooit aangemeld heb voor 'redhetpensioenstelsel' en kan me ook niet voorstellen dat ik een account aangemaakt heb. Wel weet ik dat ik met regelmaat lastig gevallen worden door deze lijst. Kunt u het adres 'Ben.Engbers(a)Be-Logical.nl' verwijderen van de lijst? Ben Engbers
