Tom,
I haven't tried the command-line yet, I know I will at some point,
so far everything is programmatic.   I was wondering if the xpath
syntax was different then the regular syntax.   From your example,
it looks like it is.   I think I may have to change my parser.

Currently, I am using something like:

select 'repairorder' from repairorders where 'concern' contains 'brake'.

I think I will need something like:

select 'repairorder' from repairorders where attribute 'concern' contains
'brake'.

I don't think I have the xpath url on my website, do you have it?

thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Command-line or programmatic?   If you're having problems with the 
command line, it's probably because you're using Windows, and because 
the Windows command line "sucks".  The work around would be to quote 
your query appropriately.

xindice xpath -c /db/mycollection -q "root[@attr='yadda']"

Something like that should work.
