Database key wildcard search

Is it possible to search a record with a partial key (key with 
wildcards).

now we have:
rec = db_find_key("find_this_key")

a function like this would be very useful:
rec = db_find_key_wildc("find_th?s_???")

It should be possible to build such a function, but key_pointer 
structure is a bit too complicated for me, can someone offer some help?

(I think an integer 'starting_rec' is needed to do multiple searches:
rec = db_find_key_wildc("find_th?s_???", starting_rec)
