Show tables replacement

[Ed Reed]

Is there a Select statement I can use to get table names so that I could use 
other Select statement syntax on the results?
 
What I'd like to do is this,
 
SHOW Replace(TABLES, 'tbl','') Like 'tbl%';
 
But this doesn't work so I need a Select statement that  can do the same thing.
 
Thanks in advance
