I need the code compare the first 4 characters of a string and if they are " ABC- " followed by 5 numeric characters either.
[string range $string 0 8] eq ABC-?????
How wildcards are used "? " ?

See:
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/string.htm#M39


Examples:

<my_handle> .tcl string match "ABC-?????" "ABC-12345"
<botnick> Tcl: 1

<my_handle> .tcl string match "ABC-?????" "abc-12345"
<botnick> Tcl: 0

<my_handle> .tcl string match "ABC-?????" "ZYZ-12345"
<botnick> Tcl: 0


I hope this helps.
