OK I got it. The release notes says, On Windows, command line queries can have problems with the quote handling of the windows shell. In general you should put double quotes around the entire query string and use single quotes in your XPath.
But it's not totally correct. I changed my query to: xindice.bat xpath -c /db/test -q "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'East']" and it still doesn't work. However, finally I found this working: xindice.bat xpath -c /db/test -q "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"East\"]" -tom > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 11:23 AM > To: [email protected] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: XPath query problem > > > Hello, > > I'm a new user to Xindice and I just installed the software.
