Hi all,

I must have a variable in my XML location Path, is it possible ?

When i test it with '6' all is ok and it work like i want, but if this value is in variable, it have an error.

This work :
[Metadata.Text:Path="/contexture/publication/parution/cahier/pages/page[@folio='6']/@verrou",Dataset="SYELA-XML",Model="XML"]
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sgwijeqzh1pq9 ... 6.png?dl=0

Here i just remplaced the value '6' by my variable '[Job.PrivateData:Key="FOLIO"]' and This don't work :
[Metadata.Text:Path="/contexture/publication/parution/cahier/pages/page[@folio='[Job.PrivateData:Key="FOLIO"]']/@verrou",Dataset="SYELA-XML",Model="XML"]
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gnfqyggd9297d ... 1.png?dl=0

Any idea please ???? thanks.

Try escaping the square brackets around your variable like \[Job.PrivateData:Key="FOLIO"\]. Switch is picky when it comes to square brackets.

Thanks for your answer but i have the same error...

As I said brackets is something Switch is picky about.

This is from the manual:

If used in an argument that supports nested variables, the opening square bracket '[' is interpreted by Switch as the beginning of a new variable. To use the square bracket as static text, you need to double it: '[['. Note that there is no need to double the closing square bracket.

But nested variables are not supported in all variable groups.

Answer from enfocus support... Grrrr

Hi Boris,

It's not possible to use Switch Variables in an XML location path. Switch currently does not convert nested variables in XML. You can find more info on this here: http://www.enfocus.com/manuals/UserGuid ... yntax.html

If you have the scripting module, try this as a script expression...

var theFolio = job.getPrivateData("FOLIO");
var xpathString = "[Metadata.Text:Path=\"/contexture/publication/parution/cahier/pages/page[@folio='" + theFolio + "']/@verrou\",Dataset=\"Xml\",Model=\"XML\"]";
var theValue = job.getVariableAsString(xpathString);
theValue;
