How to filter SSAS catalog list?

Question

I use DMX query like this

SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.DBSCHEMA_CATALOGS 

which retrieves list of OLAP DBs. I would like to add a where clause to select catalogs where name contains some sequence of chars, e.g.,

SELECT * FROM $SYSTEM.DBSCHEMA_CATALOGS
WHERE [CATALOG_NAME] LIKE '%FOO%'

Any ideas on how to filter the retrieved list of Catalog names given the limitation?

Notably, JOIN, GROUP BY, LIKE, CAST, and CONVERT are not supported.

If it is Analysis Services Multidimensional not Tabular you can install ASSP and use the ASSP.DMV function which implements the LIKE clause in the WHERE clause. Here is an example on a different DMV.
