Is there a function that could search a string of 10 characters using a wild character such as '*'.
For example: F*ND123456

would find FIND123456
FIND123456
FCND123456
FAND123456
FUND123456
FZND123456

Another example: F*ND******

FIND123456
FIND875364
FCND678765
FAND456454
FUND864125
FZND154845


Thanks for anyone who can help me
 
Try using Regular Expressions - they are made for just this type of thing.
 
Thank you sjcidt! That looks like it is going to work. I have been looking for this function for a while until I noticed this site.
