[basex-talk] Bind context to stdin: -i-

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

I just thought I would share this, as it was non-obvious to me.
I wanted to use xpath expressions in a shell script pipeline, and was looking 
to see if there was a way to bind context to stdin. It wasn’t clear from the 
documentation, so I just tried the common convention of using “-“ and:

 Pipeline commands producing XML output “| basex -i-  “  followed by a path or 
query works! 


And it works better that the PERL xpath command.
