xquery on elements with attribute named 'type'

[kishjeff]

Hi.

I would like to find all elements of type 'tab' that have an attribute
named 'type' and also that the type attribute is not called 'list'.

I've tried this but it won't compile by my xquery interpreter (a
little long in the tooth I'm afraid)

for $doc in collection('c:\myxml')
for $a in $doc //tab[(@type)]
return
<Atable> tokenize({base-uri($a)},{data($a/@beanclass)},{node-name($a)},
{$a}</Atable>


So it might find this tab element:
<big id='aaa' >
<tab id='bbb' type='newtype' />
</big

but not these tab elements:

<big id='aaa' >
<tab id='bbb' type='list' />
<tab id='ccc' />
</big



Also finally, one last question.. base-uri is not returning the name
of the xml file, just the path part. How can I get that also so I know
what file it was in?

regards
Jeff

doc('file.xml')//tab[@type and @type ne 'list']

for $doc in collection('c:\myxml')
for $a in $doc //tab[(@type)]
return
<Atable> tokenize({base-uri($a)},{data($a/@beanclass)},{node-name($a)},
{$a}</Atable>

What do you want to do with the tokenize function?

I'm afraid that the @type isn't compiling in my xquery machine I have
at my disposal.
I guess I'll have to get something else to work in its stead. too bad
it has a nice gui
front end... unless there is another way?

Get the name of the xml file (out of the collection of xml files) that
the result came from
Thanks again
