your problems mostly come down to some syntax mistakes:

(line 22): There's a comma missing between the two for-loops of your

modify clause (the query editor in BaseX actually shows you the

exact position of the error - I always use it myself when formulating

(line 27) After fixing this the parser comes across an unknown variable,

due to a missing underscore.

(line27) Fixing this there's another unknown variable $src_id. Again, the

highlighting shows you the exact location. I can't really help you with

this, as I don't know where this variable is coming from. If you are able

to fix this yourself I can further assist you with finishing the query.

As for now, the partly corrected query looks like this:

import module namespace functx = "http://www.functx.com" at "http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/functx-1.0-nodoc-2007-01.xq";

declare variable $entryid_prefix as xs:string external;

declare variable $src_prefix as xs:string external;

declare variable $other_src_prefix as xs:string external;

let $feeds_metadoc :=

<feed>

<entry>

</entry>

</feed>

return(

copy $feed_copy := $feeds_metadoc

modify (

for $entry in $feed_copy/entry

return (

for $entry_id in $entry/id

where fn:not(fn:contains($entry_id, '/'))

return replace value of node $entry_id with concat($entryid_prefix, $entry_id),

for $src in $entry/child/@src

return (

if (fn:contains(data($src), '/'))

then (

let $src_id_new := concat($other_src_prefix, $src_id)

return replace value of node $src with $src_id_new

)

else (

let $src_data := concat($src_prefix, data($src))

return replace value of node $src with $src_data

)

return $feed_copy

)

Make sure to consult the BaseX query editor first when you come

across issues like this - this will save you a great deal of time as

you don't have to wait for our answers ...

Hi,

Given the following xquery:
import module namespace functx = "http://www.functx.com" at "http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/functx-1.0-nodoc-2007-01.xq";

declare variable $entryid_prefix as xs:string external;
declare variable $src_prefix as xs:string external;
declare variable $other_src_prefix as xs:string external;

let $feeds_metadoc :=

<feed>
<entry>
<id>1</id>
<child src='2' />
<child src='libx.org@gmail.com/core' />

</entry>
</feed>

return(
copy $feed_copy := $feeds_metadoc
modify (
for $entry in $feed_copy/entry
return (

for $entry_id in $entry/id
where fn:not(fn:contains($entry_id, '/'))
return replace value of node $entry_id with concat($entryid_prefix, $entry_id)

for $src in $entry/child/@src
return (
if (fn:contains(data($src), '/'))

then (
let $src_id_new := concat($other_srcprefix, $src_id)
return replace value of node $src with $src_id_new
)
else (

let $src_data := concat($src_prefix, data($src))
return replace value of node $src with $src_data
)
)
)

)
return $feed_copy
)

Say, the values are passed are - $entryid_prefix = 'http://X/", $src_prefix="http://Y/", and $other_src_prefix="http://Z/". After running the above xqueries by passing these values, I expect the output to be:

<feed>
<entry>
<id>http://X/1</id>
<child src='http://Y/2' />

<child src='http://Z/libx.org@gmail.com/core' />
</entry>
</feed>

I am trying to use multiple for statements within the modify statement and this does not work. I see the following error:

java.io.IOException: Stopped at line 23, column 10:
[XPST0003] Expecting ")", found "f".

I highlighted line 23 for convenience. Please help me fix this.

Thanks,
Sony
