find_string_in_list_w_wildcards.py

import fnmatch

l = ["imagine", "if", "this", "was", "a", "super", "duper", "long", "list"]

thisMatches = fnmatch.filter(l, "this")
print(thisMatches)
#['this']

#Using ? as a single-character wildcard
uperMatches = fnmatch.filter(l, "?uper")
print(uperMatches)
#['super', 'duper']

#Using * as a multi-character wildcard
isMatches = fnmatch.filter(l, "*is*")
print(isMatches)
#['this', 'list']

#Then do this to remove what was found
for match in isMatches:
  l.remove(match)
  
print(l)
#['imagine', 'if', 'was', 'a', 'super', 'duper', 'long']
