Wildcards for a field or alternatives

Hello,

 

I have this wildmatch function: if(wildmatch(field1, '*1234*', '*12345*'), 'ok', 'nok') and I wonder if the hardcodes can be replaced with a field from the database, but work on the same principle with *.

I know that wildmatch(field1, *field2*) doesn't work. Is there any alternative?

Field1 is a field with several concatenated codes, and I want to match with the other field that has just one code.

 

Thanks!
