Strtok-v2-1 can find them using various combinations of matchtok, findtok, or 
wildntok, matchntok, and retrieve them with gettok,, for instance:

junk = gettok(myList,wildntok(myList,"IADC*",0,""),"")

You can select case-insensitivity for find, get, match, etc, in v2-1 too.

Yep, matchntok or wildntok will do that. Either case-sensitively, or 
insensitively. the difference is that matchntok is like a wildntok using *IADC*,
and you know your match is only at the start of the sequences, so i'd use 
IADC* in wildntok. If you break up the subsequences into more dotted form,  
strtok gets even more precise in what you can locate.
