Can not use a foreign namespace function in BaseX

I go to http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/ and download functx-1.0-doc-2007-01.xq I open that xq file in the editor and run it (Green Arrow). But if I try to use any function it fails !! [image: Inline image 1] Thanks, Bob Berger

Hi Robert, The functx is an XQuery module; you need to reference it from your query via the "import module" statement. Please see our documentation for more information [1]. Next, your screenshot indicates that you tried to send the query in the "Command" mode. You need to select "XQuery" in the dropdown box. Otherwise, your input will be interpreted as BaseX command [2]. Best, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Repository#Accessing_Modules [2] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands
