Yesterday evening I was looking ways to find out quickly if a list of  
string patterns match a list of strings or not.  Outer came handy.   
Here is a small example:

In[20]:=
lst={"actagagactagag","actagag","acta","gag"};
fragpatt={"*acta*","*tag*","*gag*"};
Outer[StringMatchQ[#1,#2]&,lst,fragpatt]

Out[22]=
{{True,True,True},{True,True,True},{True,False,False},{False,False,True} 
}

The first sublist of the Out shows how the first element of lst  
measured up to the elements of fragpatt, etc...
