Issue when using multiple then statements

[Dylan Strachan]

When I try to use a statement such as this: 

if ("xpath") then (action1 then action2) else action3 . 

I get an xpath error in orbeon, however if I change the second then to an or such as this:

if ("xpath") then (action1 or action2) else action3

The error goes away.  Why am I running into this xpath error?

Best,

Dylan

Hi Dylan,

The first expression looks correct, but often the devil is in the details.
Could you give us a concrete example of the process you are using, and also
give the exact error you are getting?

Hello Alessandro,

here is an example

if($Control1[contains(text(), 'someText1')] or
$Control1   [contains(text(), 'someText2')])
then (
replace($ Control1," someText1 ","newText1") then
replace($ Control1," someText2 ","newText2")
)
else $Control1    

Best,

Dylan

Hi Dylan,

The following is not valid:

replace($Control1, "someText1", "newText1") then

replace($Control1, "someText2", "newText2")

Instead, I think you want to have:

replace(
replace($Control1, "someText1", "newText1"),
"someText2", "newText2")

You let me know if this indeed does what you had in mind.

Hi Dylan,

Did you get a chance to try the expression with the nested calls to
`replace()`? If so did that work for you?
