I want to use Wildcards in my attributes. For example, this is my regular XPath:

xpath=//div[@id='_exoik_requests_WAR_exoikonomov2portlet_:j_idt1368:exoikBudgetTable:${FCIndex}:bdgDapani_panel']/div[2]/ul/li[${ParNum}]

I want to replace the j_idt number with a wildcard because the number is dynamic. I'm looking for something like this:

//input[@id='activation:*:voId:1']

I've tried the following with no success in selenium IDE

xpath=//div[starts-with(@id,'_exoik_requests_WAR_exoikonomov2portlet_:') and contains(@id,':exoikBudgetTable:'):${FCIndex}:bdgDapani_panel']/div[2]/ul/li[${ParNum}]

xpath=//div[starts-with(.,'_exoik_requests_WAR_exoikonomov2portlet_:') and contains(.,':exoikBudgetTable:'):${FCIndex}:bdgDapani_panel']/div[2]/ul/li[${ParNum}]

I don't know how to solve that issue. Is my idea even possible?
