Hi there,

I'm trying to use ${xpath_eval} in a transformation scenario stored as part of a document type. The input file path is:

Code: Select all

/media/Data/WorkData/ise/svnrepo/trunk/tei/input/noTitlePage/Pref/Pref_F1.txt

and the output save I'm using is this:

Code: Select all

${xpath_eval(replace('${cfne}', 'crude', 'tei')}

When I run the transformation, I get this error:

Code: Select all


Description

Cannot delete the file: /media/Data/WorkData/ise/svnrepo/trunk/tei/input/noTitlePage/Pref prior to result generation.

Severity

Error

System ID

/media/Data/WorkData/ise/svnrepo/trunk/tei/input/noTitlePage/Pref/Pref_F1_crude.xml

Scenario

ISE Crude XML to TEI

Document type

ISE_crude.xml

XML file

/media/Data/WorkData/ise/svnrepo/trunk/tei/input/noTitlePage/Pref/Pref_F1_crude.xml

XSL file

/home/mholmes/WorkData/ise/svnrepo/trunk/ise-tei/sgml-to-tei/xsl/crudeXmlToTei.xsl

Engine name

Saxon-HE 9.6.0.7

There seems to be some sort of problem caused by the underscore in the filename, but as far as I know there's nothing special about underscores in XPath regexes. Am I missing something obvious here?

Cheers,
Martin

Hello,

The error should not be in any way related to the ${xpath_eval} function. Also, the underscore in the file name shouldn't have any negative influence over it.

Code: Select all

/media/Data/WorkData/ise/svnrepo/trunk/tei/input/noTitlePage/Pref/Pref_F1.txt

What I noticed from your snippet is that you have a text file called "Pref_F1.txt". Are you using a text file as the input on purpose, or is it a spelling error?
Should it perchance be something like "Pref_F1_crude.xml" instead?

We do not have any preset flag to trigger the cleaning of the output for this kind of scenario, so, as the occurring error seems related to a failed output folder cleanup operation, the issue seems most probably related to the XSL stylesheet you are using in your transformation scenario.

I googled for something related to this and also found a reference to the same error on this page. I considered it might be worth mentioning it as this strengthens my suspicion that the issue is related to your stylesheet, instead of the XPath evaluation.

Costin
