Hi Hector<div>I run query like you, only using my existing database name and counting my elements, which exists there and I had no problem. I suspected that before : shall be a space, but this is not the case, it makes no difference in my test:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="&#39;courier new&#39;, monospace">D:\opt\BaseX&gt;java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Padmin  -c&quot;open I</font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &#39;courier new&#39;, monospace; ">SO;xquery &lt;results&gt;{ let $total:=count(//LOCT) return &lt;total&gt;{$total}&lt;/total&gt;}&lt;/</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &#39;courier new&#39;, monospace; ">results&gt;&quot;</span></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="&#39;courier new&#39;, monospace">&lt;results&gt;</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="&#39;courier new&#39;, monospace">  &lt;total&gt;1487&lt;/total&gt;</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="&#39;courier new&#39;, monospace">&lt;/results&gt;</font></div><div><br></div>I use BaseX version 6.6.1</div><div><br></div><div><ol><li>What version of BaseX do you use?</li><li>
Are you sure you run the same version for server and for the client? Once I had troubles mixing different versions.</li></ol></div><div><br></div><div>With best regards</div><div><br></div><div>Jan<br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div>Hello,</div>
<div>I am trying to run some Xqueries from command line but I am getting the following error:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>$ java -cp &quot;C:\Program Files\BaseX\BaseX.jar&quot; org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Pa<br>dmin  -c&quot;open dbname;xquery &lt;results&gt;{ let $total:=count(//callRecords/*) return &lt;t<br>otal&gt;{$total}&lt;/total&gt;}&lt;/results&gt;&quot;<br>

Error: Stopped at line 1, column 30:<br>[XPST0003] Expecting &quot;}&quot;, found &quot;:&quot;.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If I run the query from the GUI it runs correctly, but here I am always getting this error.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried running other dummy queries that work in the GUI but here I get an error like this:</div>
<div>$ java -cp &quot;C:\Program Files\BaseX\BaseX.jar&quot; org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Pa<br>dmin  -c&quot;open dbname;xquery let $total := count(//callRecords/*) return $total&quot;<br>Error: Stopped at line 1, column 23:<br>

Syntax: XQUERY [query]<br>  Evaluate XQuery.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any idea of how to solve this?</div>
<div>Is it possible to use let in queries from command?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your help.</div>
<div>Hector</div>
