xpath question

[bruce]

hi

is there anyone with XPath expertise here? i'm trying to figure out if
there's a way to use regex expressions with an xpath query? i've seen
references to the ability to use regex and xpath/xml, but i'm not sure how
to do it...

i have a situation where i have something like:
 /html/table/..../[@class='foo']

is it possible to do soomething like [@class~=/fo/] so i'd match the class
attribute with fo....

i'm trying to parse HTML/Web docs...

thanks
