title: Finding elements with selenium using Starts with and ends functions in xpath
body: <p>I am trying to extract all those tags whose class name fits the regex pattern frag-0-0, frag-1-0, etc. from this <a href="http://de.vroniplag.wikia.com/wiki/Aak/002" rel="noreferrer">enter link description here</a></p>
  
  <p>I am trying the following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
      for frg in frgs:
          driver.get(URL + frg[1:])
          frags=driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[starts-with(@id, 'frag-') and ends-with(@id, '-0')]")
      for frag in frags:
              for tag in frag.find_elements_by_css_selector('[class^=fragmark]'):
                  lst.append([tag.get_attribute('class'), tag.text])
      driver.quit()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my traceback:</p>
