String Search.

[Adonis Vargas]

i posted a thread before asking help on how to find a specific string within
a line of string, i unfortunately did not get too specific on what i was
asking for. how can i do a search within a string using wildcards?
i.e.:
(pseudocode)
if "*something*is*" in "something is written here": return true

ive looked into the re module and have been to the how-to pages, but i cant
seem to understand it.

any help would greatly be appreciated.
