How to write xpath fuzzy matching?

In XPath, fuzzy matching can be achieved using wildcards, which come in two forms: asterisk (*) and question mark (?).

  1. Perform a fuzzy match using asterisks (*)
  2. //tagname[contains(@attribute, ‘value’)] : Match all elements of tagname whose attribute contains ‘value’.
  3. Match all elements with the attribute ‘attribute’ and a value of ‘value’.
  4. Utilize the question mark (?) for fuzzy matching.
  5. //*[@attribute=’value’] : Match all elements that have the attribute “attribute” with a value that starts with ‘value’.
  6. //*[substring(@attribute, string-length(@attribute) – string-length(‘value’) +1) = ‘value’]: Selects all elements with the attribute attribute whose value ends with ‘value’.

Note: Wildcards can be combined with other XPath expressions to achieve more complex fuzzy matching requirements.
