String matching with wildcards

[Johnny Jörgensen]

It's no problem comparing two strings where one contains the "*" wildcard
and find out if eg. "My*" or "*ring" matches "MyString". But how do you go
about comparing two strings where one contains the "?" wildcard to find out
that "My?ring" or "MyStrin?" actually matches "MyString"?

What is the easiest way of doing that?

Cheers,
Johnny J
