Using wildcards in string comparison

Subject: Using wildcards in string comparison

I am making an app which allows an array to be searched by a string which contains wildcards (the *, and ?, etc). I am currently using the isLike: method of NSString, but I ran into a problem. I want the search string to be able to contain [ and ] characters that are not part of the pattern. So, @"*[ABC]*" would match @"123[ABC]456", not @"123[A]456", @"123[B]456", or @"123[C]456". Any ideas? Is there another method which allows comparisons just by wildcards?

Thanks in advance,
jjoonathan
