Awesome. Both work! Thank you.

Hi, from what I remember,
You can get rid of namespace wildcards if you just declare a default element namespace for your query :
declare default element namespace 'http://psidev.info/psi/pi/mzIdentML/1.1';
db:open("myrimatchSubset","20160312_17_B3_myrimatch_2_2_140.xml")/MzIdentML/SequenceCollection/Peptide
Another way is to declare explicitly your namespace (here named mz but you could choose any other name) :
declare namespace mz = 'http://psidev.info/psi/pi/mzIdentML/1.1';
db:open("myrimatchSubset","20160312_17_B3_myrimatch_2_2_140.xml")/mz:MzIdentML/mz:SequenceCollection/mz:Peptide

Apologies if I am hard to understand but I am new to the XML querying. I would like to query an XML with namespaces.
As I did learn, you can do it in BaseX by including an *: in your path, e.g.,
db:open("myrimatchSubset","20160312_17_B3_myrimatch_2_2_140.xml")/*:MzIdentML/*:SequenceCollection/*:Peptide
But I would like to be more specific than *. I did search the schema for the XML and all I found related to the search term namespace is not brief name, but: targetNamespace="http://psidev.info/psi/pi/mzIdentML/1.1"
I did also found the following entry on stack overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5239685/xml-namespace-breaking-my-xpath
And If I interpret the answer there correctly somehow one can register his own acronym for a namespace? Is this correct? So I am wondering if I could do the same somehow in BaseX?
Alternatively, I am wondering if I could tell BaseX to disable namespace checking?
Thank you a lot
