Can wildcard characters like ? be used in Xpath

[kamakshi <ka...@hcl.in>]

Hi,
I want to evaluate a xpath with wildcard character ?, is there any way for
doing this.
Eg:
I want to get all Acro that as the value AC?? meaning it can be AC11 or AC22
etc.... only four characters and starts with AC.
/SUb/APP/Acro[.="AC??"], Is this possible or else there is someother
function to perform this

Thank U.

In XPath 2.0, there will be a matches function to do this exact thing.
In XPath 1.0, you could test for both string-length and starts-with.
