How can I start a new "record" and then nest tags in that record?

but I'm getting output like:

<xml>   <record>       if (matches($line, "[0-9]"))       then <data>people</data>       else <name>people</name>   </record>   <record>       if (matches($line, "[0-9]"))       then <data>joe</data>       else <name>joe</name>   </record> ..

wheras I just want output like:

<record>   <name>joe</name>   <data>123</data> </record>

the query:

xquery version "3.0";

<xml> { for $line in db:open("foo.txt")//text() return         <record>

Nest any contained expression in further curly braces

{

if (matches($line, "[0-9]"))       then <data>{$line}</data>       else <name>{$line}</name>

}

</record> } </xml>
