equals sign in xpath?

[Greg Sandell <gs...@iesabroad.org>]

I am using Xindice on Windows.  When I use a command like the following
from the shell:
 
Xindice.bat xpath -c /db/addressbook -q /person/phone
 
...it works fine, but if I include a predicate with an equals sign like:
 
Xindice.bat xpath -c /db/addressbook -q /person/phone[@type = "home"]
 
...I get "org.xmldb.api.base.XMLDBException: :Error Compiling XPath
Expression".
 
When I look at the output on the Xindice server (ie. Running in Tomcat)
I see:
 
INFO: [Thread-8] '/db/addressbook' Query collection, query
/person/phone[@type "work"]
 
...the equals sign gets left out!  I've tried escaping the equals sign,
to know avail.  Can anyone help?
 
Thanks,
Greg Sandell
