Re: [Exist-open] Question about xUpdate

[Mayank M. <may...@gm...>]

Thanks for the example. However, I still have a problem about the
'select=3Dpath' statement. Is it possible to specify the document to update=
,
for example using doc("filename.xml") statement?

Thanks for the XQuery update link. I might use that as well.

MM.
