Hi Christian,

The alternative worked so my first question is answered. But the second
question still remains.

Why does BaseX-GUI use an old path
(/home/bengbers/DataScience/Eindopdracht/Data/file), a path I didn't
even enter and does not use the path I entered in the query
(/home/bengbers/DataScience/RBaseX/Examples/Parse/)?

Cheers,
Ben
