[string range $string 0 8] eq ABC-?????

doubts wildcard in a string
If you do not understand my ideas is because I can not think in English, I help me with Google Translate. I only speak Spanish. Bear with me. Thanks

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.
