You want either "match" or "gmatch" commands.

From the help doc's for gmatch:

MEL examples

gmatch "matches" "m*s";
// Result: 1 //
gmatch "matches" "mat*";
// Result: 1 //
gmatch "matches" "ma[a-z]ches";
// Result: 1 //
gmatch "matches" "ma[!a-m]ches";
// Result: 1 //
gmatch "matches" "ma?ches";
// Result: 1 //
gmatch "no match" "?atch";
// Result: 0 //
