It’s a namespace thing. The analyze-string() result is in the http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions namespace, which is bound to the fn prefix. So you should write fn:match etc. instead of match, or, as Bridger suggested, *:match. But such a wildcard always seems a bit desperate to me (no offense, Bridger ;). Whereas you don’t need to use the privileged fn prefix when you invoke analyze-string(), it’s only important when you select the namespaced results.

Hi,
This query produces the following result:
let $debates := collection("Parliament") for $debate-item in $debates let $item-file := $debate-item/officiele-publicatie//meta/@content let $debate-id := fn:analyze-string( $debate-item/officiele-publicatie//meta/@content, "(\d{8}-\d*)-(\d*)") return ($debate-id)
=>
<analyze-string-result xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"> <non-match>https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/h-tk-</non-match> <match> <group nr="1">20202021-102</group>-<group nr="2">1</group> </match> <non-match>/metadata.xml</non-match> </analyze-string-result> ...
I am trying to extract the values from group 1 and 2 but this query returns 0 results:
let $debates := collection("Parliament") for $debate-item in $debates let $item-file := $debate-item/officiele-publicatie//meta/@content let $debate-id := fn:analyze-string( $debate-item/officiele-publicatie//meta/@content, "(\d{8}-\d*)-(\d*)")
let $debate-nr := $debate-id//match/group[@nr="1"]/text() let $item-nr := $debate-id//match/group[@nr="2"]/text()
return ($debate-nr, $item-nr)
My guess is that analyze-string inserts new elements in the query and that that is the reason why this does not work.
How can I extract debate-nr and item-nr from $debate-id?
