Question
Hi how would I select all link when they have the following id.
<a id="List_ctl01_link3" class="content" href=link1.aspx">
<a id="List_ctl02_link3" class="content" href=link2.aspx">
<a id="List_ctl03_link3" class="content" href=link3.aspx">
<a id="List_ctl04_link3" class="content" href=link4.aspx">
And so on...
Please note that the last part "link3" is important, and must be included in the Xpath.
I'm using C# and Html agility pack.
Accepted Answer
In case you use xpath 2.0 you can try match/matches functions and use regular expressions. If you are with xpath 1.0 probably you will have to write your custom attribute parser (take a look at xsl:function). AFAIR the match function is available only xpath 2.0.
Probably @id[starts-with(., 'List_ct') and ends-with(., 'link3')] is another way to do it.

Use this XPath expression:
//a[@id[starts-with(.,'List_ctl')][substring(.,string-length()-5)='_link3']]
Note: There is no fn:ends-with() in XPath 1.0. Use last predicate instead.
