Re: [Exist-open] update replace for root element

[Michael <axi...@gm...>]

Hi,

> update value //a with <a><d/><e/></a>

I gave this a try and what it actually does is insert
'<a><d/><e/></a>' into the root 'a' element thus giving
'<a><a><d/><e/></a></a>'

I guess this is correct for update value (updates the content of all
nodes in expr with the items in exprSingle) but does not help solve my
problem.

If the entire root element cannot be replaced per se, is there another
way to replace all content under the root?

Thanks,
MB
