Tokenizing in Xquery

Let string a = “http://ontheland.com/letus/tag/present?page=20&type=0“, need to tokenize this string where i want to get “20” as integer. The main issue with this is how to tokenize “&”. I have been trying with “&”, but no use. Can you please assist the exact problem with this.

Answer 1

You need to use & as the entity for &:

let $a := <a><![CDATA[http://ontheland.com/letus/tag/present?page=20&type=0]]></a>
return xs:int(tokenize(tokenize($a,'&amp;')[1],'=')[last()])
