CSS selectors have gone a long way from their beginnings. Today you have multiple choices to select elements in the page.
Today I needed to select all the elements with the id matching this regex:
fixed_string_(.*)_digit
But CSS doesn’t let regex. To do this, you can combine these two attribute selectors:
[id^=value] // Element with the id beginning with "value"
[id$=value] // Element with the id ending with "value"
So we have:
div[id^=fixed_string_][id$=_digit] { color: red; }
