StringMatchQ
StringMatchQ["
string
",
"
pattern
"] yields True if string matches the specified string pattern, and yields False otherwise.
The pattern string can contain literal characters, together with the metacharacters * and @ specified in Section A.3.13.
Example: StringMatchQ["apppbb", "a*b"] .
Setting the option IgnoreCase
->
True makes StringMatchQ treat lower- and upper-case letters as equivalent.
Setting the option SpellingCorrection
->
True makes StringMatchQ allow strings to match even if a small fraction of their characters are different.
See the Mathematica book: Section 2.7.3.

Further Examples
This string matches the pattern "a*b*".
In[1]:= 
Out[1]= 
These strings do not match.
In[2]:= 
Out[2]= 
Allowing for spelling correction, the first pair are close enough to match.
In[3]:= 
Out[3]= 
In[4]:= 
Out[4]= 
These strings match when lower- and upper-case letters are treated as equivalent.
In[5]:= 
Out[5]=
