Problem running xpath on live xml content documents Xindice
Hi there , I am running Xindice Server and I have populated my /db with
my works project of transforming html to xhtml / xml content web pages.
Thus I don't have many attributes as there was no real need for them. So
on the few I did have i.e
<article>
<section label="decription">
</section>
</article>
when I run xpath query [xindice bin]$ xpath -c /db/xmlproject/english -q
/article/section/ -v <!-- I get a results but when I try
xpath -c /db/xmlproject/english -q
/article/section[@label="description"] there is no result or responc
just reverts to the [xindice/bin] $ prompt.
Any pointer would be gratful as I 'm working on a work project that will
entail the complete web-site consisting of a further 20 html pages to
transform to xhtl/ xml content and DIDO via NXD's. So I will be updating
the database using Xupdate on thee xml pages on a regular basis.
Cheers in advance

Before you criticize someone,
you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them,
you're a mile away, and you have their shoes.

Properly quote the query argument on the command line:
xpath -c /db/xmlproject/english -q "/article/section[@label='description']"
This is necessary particularly in the Windows command shell, but in others
as well.

Ah, someone else might chime in soon with better information, but this is
probably a shell escaping issue.
try putting single quotes around the whole xpath expression.
