Hi, Not sure about the details of the length (it's hard to look at a non-reduced example containing a lot of noise), but you pass $piece-of-xml (or at least a substring of it) as a regex to fn:replace().
So MarkLogic tells you it's not a valid regex, and it looks right to do so. It's not clear what you want to replace in "aaaa" using the literal XML as a regex.
