I'm trying to access XML variables that have attributes that end with "_abc".
I ran across an Xpath option that I think might work.

Here's the expression:

C#

SelectNodes("//FieldSpecs/FS//@*[ends-with(name(), \"abc\")]/");

When I use it, I get the following error:

C#

ex.Message = "Expression must evaluate to a node-set."
