toString().replace() error !

[batis]

Hi all,

I'm using the following code where url is a variable passed from java main
prog, and elemtURL are links extracted withing a loop list

                <xq-param name="doc">
                    <html-to-xml>
                        <http url="${sys.fullUrl(url.toString().replace('/pewpew', ''), elemtURL)}"/>
                    </html-to-xml>
                </xq-param>

the url looks like:
http://www.example.com/pewpew and
elemtURL="/pewpew/groupA"

so I'm trying to concatenate these two variables to get a valid url, but I get
this error:

org.webharvest.exception.ScriptException: Error during script execution: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``sys.fullUrl(url.toString().replace('/pewpew', ''), elemtURL);'' Token Parsing Error: Lexical error at line 1, column 38.  Encountered: "p" (112), after : "\'/"

any idea how to fix this?

Maybe you have to escape '/' character in '/pewpew' string.

Try something like this:

<http url="${sys.fullUrl(url.toString().replace('\\/pewpew', ''), elemtURL)}"/>

Or remove '/' character from replace method, it won't be removed and when
concating you will have double //, but it shouln't make a problem in URL.

When using the backslash I get:

org.webharvest.exception.ScriptException: Error during script execution: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``sys.fullUrl(url.toString().replace('\/pewpew', ''), elemtURL);'' Token Parsing Error: Lexical error at line 1, column 38.  Encountered: "/" (47), after : "\'\\"

And when removing both the slash and backslash:

org.webharvest.exception.ScriptException: Error during script execution: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``sys.fullUrl(url.toString().replace('pewpew', ''), elemtURL);'' Token Parsing Error: Lexical error at line 1, column 38.  Encountered: "e" (108), after : "\'p"

I really dont understand what's wrong xD

[batis]

Well, finally it works using simply this: ${sys.fullUrl(url.toString(),
catURL.toString())}

And also correcting my Xpath >.>

Thanks for your help :-)

Ah, the problem was in single qoutes. I just realised that. You should write
replace("some string",....).

[batis]

It works like a charm.... thanks :)

[Selvin Fehric]

No problem ;)
