Finding nodes with Xpath wildcard on name

Question

I have a document with lots of nodes like this:

<FOO_A />
<SOMETHING />
<FOO_B />
<WHATEVER />
<FOO_C />

How can I use xpath to find all the nodes with names that match FOO_*? Thanks for all advice.

Answer 1

Short and sweet:

//*[starts-with(local-name(), 'FOO_')]
