Hi, I am not sure if any of you are as curious as I am to find out how to use= external variables on eXist. I used to use a Saxon processor, so I could call up something like declare variable $text external; to process my queries when I run a search. I understand from the Sandbox op= tions, and from the terminal prompt I tried to run by appending text=3Dsome= thing after the command does not give me errors, but neither does it bring = back stuff either. Anyone know how I can make use of external variables usng eXist? Thanks to those who can help. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D Alice Wei MIS 2008 School of Library and Information Science Indiana University Bloomington aj...@in... |

See eXist's source code. We provide some test cases that bind external variables. Cheers, p.b. |

> Anyone know how I can make use of external variables usng eXist? eXist does support external variables, but unfortunately not from the command line. If you know Java, you can write your own wrapper class to execute the XQuery. Another option would be to call the XQuery via the web and pass parameters in the HTTP request. Wolfgang |
