Using the .NET version of Saxon 9.4, I run a command line like:

Query.exe -s:myfile.xml -qs:/cruisecontrol/build/msbuild[@success='true']/project[1]/target[@name='GetLatestSource']/message[last()]/text()

and I get a result like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>375

How can I turn off the XML header (omit the XML declaration) so that I just get 375 as output? I’ve checked the documentation, but perhaps I’m just missing it.

    Figured it out…

    I needed to add the omit-xml-declaration option:

    Query.exe -s:myfile.xml -qs:"declare option saxon:output 'omit-xml-declaration=yes'; /cruisecontrol/build/msbuild[@success='true']/project[1]/target[@name='GetLatestSource']/message[last()]/text()"

    would be one way to accomplish this.
