Xquery to find/replace

Code: Select all
//mods:displayForm[text()[contains(.,'Trust')]]/ancestor::mods:name/@type
This code identifies all of the attributes I want to change, but how do I actually replace the value using xpath/xquery?

Hi,
You need XQuery Update for that:
Code: Select all
let $d := doc('file://path.to.file/file.xml')
for $attr in $d//mods:displayForm[text()[contains(.,'Trust')]]/ancestor::mods:name/@type
return replace value of node $attr with "changed"
What's worth mentioning is that:
- XQuery Update works only on documents loaded using the
doc() function
- you have to use Saxon EE and to enable the XQuery Update support (inside Preferences, on page
XML / XSLT-FO-XQuery / XQuery / Saxon-HE/PE/EE)
Best regards,
Alex

Can you load a project using the doc function?

Hello,
An Oxygen project? No, but you can use the
collection() function. You can use it to load files from a directory and you can load a collection using a catalog file.
Best regards,
Alex

Is there a way to use my current project to generate a collection file? An export that I'm not seeing?

Hi,
I'm afraid you can't generate a collection over the project.
Is this still in relation to the XQuery Update?
If you need to apply the same XQuery Update on multiple (or all) files from your project, you can create a scenario of type XML Transformation with XQuery use Saxon-EE as the transformer and apply it in the root of the project. In practice this will apply the scenario in turn on each of the files from the project.
