It does not seem to work. I imported several files. Also one with given in the manual. My collectionn is called db/klemens. <?xml version="1.0"?> <product product_id="120320"> <description>Glazed Ham</description> </product> Now when I search using c:\projects\perl\tm>xindice xpath_query -c /db/klemens -q /[EMAIL PROTECTED]"120320"] ====> No result ! If I use the following simple XPATH query instead: c:\projects\perl\tm>xindice xpath_query -c /db/klemens -q /product I get: <?xml version="1.0"?> <product product_id="120320" xmlns:src="http://xml.apache.org/xindice/Query"; sr:col="/db/klemens" src:key="test3"> <description>Glazed Ham</description> </product> c:\projects\perl\tm> It works ! Now what's wrong with the first query ? Do I have to create an index ? I am really wondering. With regard to the article mentioned at XINDICE realm it should work too (Apache's Xindice Organizes XML Data Without Schema). The example there is as follows (although one has to adapt it because this is not a valid XML document and XINDICE recognises this bug) " <?xml version="1.0"?> <product product_id="1" type="widget"> <description>foo</description> </product> <product product_id="2" type="widget"> <description>bar</description> </product> <product product_id="3" type="widget"> <description>foobar</description> </product> And the author states: If I wanted to write an XPath query to select the second product, I could use the following query string: /[EMAIL PROTECTED]"2"] " So theoretically my statement is correct. Thanks for your help ! I also used the query in some of the browsers avalable for XINDICE and it does not work either. Curiously other queries sometimes work, sometimes not. And it hard to see why one query works and the other not. Another question: Is there an easy way to check if XINDICE is running or not ? Idea is to check through the web if the server is running or not on a specific machine. BTW: XINDICE is a cool tool. Klemens
