Test if a string matches a wildcard?

I want to make a plugin which will do something when the server finishes loading a map, and I want to allow for users to set a whitelist/blacklist for maps for which the plugin will take effect on. For simplicity, I want these lists to support wildcards, so for example, ctf_* would match all Capture the Flag maps in TF2, and cs_* would match all Hostage Rescue maps in Counter-Strike games. et cetera. I couldn't find anything about wildcards on the Scripting API Reference, and all of the things I could find on these forums about wildcards seem to be unrelated to what I'm trying to do here.

PHP Code:


		
			
bool StrEqual_Ex(const char[] str1, const char[] str2, bool caseSensitive)

{

    bool isPattern;

    int len1 = strlen(str1);

    int len2 = strlen(str2);

    

    if (len1 > 0 && str1[len1 - 1] == '*')

    {

        isPattern = true;

        len1--;

    }

    

    if (len2 > 0 && str2[len2 - 1] == '*')

    {

        isPattern = true;

        len2--;

    }

    

    if (isPattern)

    {

        int len = len1 > len2 ? len2 : len1;

        return strncmp(str1, str2, len, caseSensitive) == 0;

    }

    

    return StrEqual(str1, str2, caseSensitive);

}
