Print "GambasIDE" Like "{alma,Gambas,szilva,GambasIDE,otto}"
Output: False

But this:

Print "GambasIDE" Like "{alma,GambasA,szilva,GambasIDE,otto}"
Output: True

So if the full-length word isn't included in the other, this problem 
doesn't occur. But the small and capital letters really don't matter.

Yes, "False" with the words: "g", "ga", "gam", "gamb", "gamba" and "gambas".

Yes, but this not good for me.

Yes, one "*" is enough to end:

Print "GambasIDE" Like "{alma,Gambas,szilva,GambasIDE,otto}*"
Output: True

But this not good for me, because GambasIDE <> GambasID

Print "GambasID" Like "{alma,Gambas,szilva,GambasIDE,otto}*"
Output: True

But of course I need equivalency.
