How do I find possible matches using regular expression?

Hi there, I'm trying to do some predicting work over user input, here's my question: for pattern r'match me', the string 'no' will definitely fail to match, but 'ma' still has a chance if user keep on inputting characters after 'ma', so how do I mark 'ma' as a possible match string? Thanks a

OK, here's what I want... I'm doing a auto-tasking tool in which user can specify the execution rule by inputting English instead of a complex GUI interface(Normally a combination of many controls). This way is way better user interaction. So the problem comes down to understanding user input
