Get the nodes containg an attribute with a certain value in XML in XPath

i want to find nodes containg an attribute with a certain value in XML . I tried with a certain Xpath expression but it wont work..

String expression = ".*[@*[starts-with(., '"+search+"')]]";

Here the search is the variable which contains the value which i want to search. Can anyone tell me the right Xpath expression.

Thanks.

Your expression is correct, only the .* makes no sense.

String expression = "//*[@*[starts-with(., '"+search+"')]]";
