Hi Jim,

I was able to get string-join() to work, here's the code:

fn:string-join(
    let $string := "ABC"
    let $data := (1, 3, 1, 2)
    for $i in $data
    return fn:substring($string, $i, 1)
, "")

Hope that works for you.

Hi,

I have a sequence of integers that I iterate through to get a numeric equivalent from a string based on the corresponding position.

e.g.

let $string := “ABC”

let $data := (“1”, “3”, “1”, “2”)

for $i in $data

return (

(: get the substring that is 1 character long from $string at position $i :)

fn:substring($string, $i, 1)

)

I’m using this to build part of a URL where no spaces are allowed.

So what I would like is the following string:
“ACAB”

But what I’m getting is a sequence
A C A B

How can I cast a sequence to a string?

If I try string-join or similar I get an “invalid coercion” error.

Thanks in advance for what I’m sure is a simple thing to solve,

Jim
