Xpath to search for a node that has ANY attribute containing a specific string?

Question

I can search for a String contained in an specific attribute if I use the following XPath /xs:schema/node()/descendant::node()[starts-with(@my-specific-attrib

Answer 1

The general pattern you're looking for is:

@*[contains(., 'string')]

which will match any attribute on the context element that contains string. So if you simply want to search the whole document for attributes containing string, you'd use:

//@*[contains(., 'string')]
