This is what I would write and recommend: file:descendants($dir)[file:name(.) = $fname] ! doc(.) > Excellent, I had overlooked this possibility, however - currently > file:children and file:descendants (which are not part of the EXPath > standard) do not support a file name pattern, nor do they support the deep > flag. The two functions are candidates for the next version of the EXPath spec. The deep flag is not required, as we have two functions for that. In hindsight, I would have discarded file:list, as the standard XQuery strings functions are much more flexible and powerful, and as the "glob syntax" is used in no other module.
