There's the 'contains' and 'starts-with' string functions,

but that's as fancy as string matching gets ...


The "Features under Consideration for Future Versions of XSLT"
section of the XSLT spec includes :

 "support for regular expressions for matching against any or all of text
nodes,
attribute values, attribute names, element type names;"

  I would definitively vote for that if I had a voice ...
