Dear Alex, I would recommand you to either redirect the script output on command line, e.g. via "-o" [1], or use file:write() from the File Module [2]. Hope this helps, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup_Options#BaseX_Standalone [2] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/File_Module#file:write

Hi, I've create a standalone script which creates a database and run's an xquery although I'm not clear on how to save the result of the xquery to file. generally I would like to create a database and run a series of xqueries each going to file rather than to the console output.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<commands>
    <show-databases/>
<drop-db name="1997-i4enrich-10k"/>
    <create-db name="1997-i4enrich-10k"/>

    <add
path="1997-i4enrich-10k">/mnt/xslt_volume/i4ContentOutput/DebugSet/10k-GHU-2009/MDAFalse/Completed/</add>

    <info-db/>
    <run file='../xquery/section-10k-metrics.xq'/>
    <close/>

</commands>
I saw this on the documentation however I couldn't get it to work Q{java:java.io.FileOutputStream}new("output.txt") btw.. It might be nice to be able to say
<run file='../xquery/section-10k-metrics.xq' outputFile="filename.xml" />
Thanks
