SQL Server using wildcard within IN

Question

Since I believe this should be a basic question I know this question has probably been asked, but I am unable to find it. I\'m probably about to earn my Peer Pressure badge,

1. I firstly added one off static table with ALL possibilities of my wildcard results (this company has a 4 character nvarchar code as their localities and they wildcard their locals) i.e. they may have 456? which would give them 456[1] to 456[Z] i.e 0-9 & a-z

2. I had to write a script to pull the current user (declare them) and pull the masks for the declared user.

3. Create some temporary tables just basic ones to rank the row numbers for this current user

4. loop through each result (YOUR Or this Or that etc...)

5. Insert into the test Table.

Here is the script I used:

Drop Table #UserMasks 
Drop Table #TESTUserMasks 

Create Table #TESTUserMasks (
    [User] [Int] NOT NULL,
    [Mask] [Nvarchar](10) NOT NULL)

Create Table #UserMasks (
    [RN] [Int] NOT NULL,
    [Mask] [Nvarchar](10) NOT NULL)

DECLARE @User INT
SET @User = 74054

Insert Into #UserMasks 
select ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY ProntoUserID ORDER BY Id DESC) AS RN,
       REPLACE(mask,'?','') Mask
from dbo.Access_Masks 
where prontouserid = @User

DECLARE @TopFlag INT
SET @TopFlag = 1

WHILE (@TopFlag <=(select COUNT(*) from #UserMasks))
BEGIN
    Insert Into #TestUserMasks 
    select (@User),Code from dbo.MaskArrayLookupTable 
    where code like (select Mask + '%' from #UserMasks Where RN = @TopFlag)

    SET @TopFlag = @TopFlag + 1
END
GO

select * from #TESTUserMasks
