Sequence of numbers -

[PencilEd]

I know this isn't really what xQuery is for, but it would be helpful if I could find a relatively easy way of doing this with xQuery.

I need to create a sequence of integers.  I start with a min and max value - need to fill in the rest.

example:
declare function fill_in_the_blanks($min as xs:integer, $max as xs:integer) as xs:sequence {
  ... do something to get
  $full_sequence := xs:sequence($min, $min+1, $min+2, $min+3... $max)
  return $full_sequence
};

I've spent an afternoon searching and playing with recursion and think I might be able to create something, but I'm hoping there's an easier way that I just haven't found.

Thanks>

I may be mistaken but can't you just do e.g.  return (5 to 18)

How about:

let $full_sequence := $min to $max

This is really much easier than all that:

$min to $max

is what you want I think

  Simply $full_sequence := $min to $max :-)

yes like this I think:

let $min := 4
let $max := 19

for $x in ($min to $max)
return
$x

Thank you much -
Now that you mention it I remember reading that somewhere a long time ago... it had just never come up so it slipped into an unused portion of my brain (which isn't hard seeing as how the unused portion consists of upwards of 97%)

Since my slow email is making me look like a retard...how about the
general case:

($min to $max)[. mod $step = 0] or something...ta-da!
