If you know what the part's parent is going to be, iterate through its children and use string.match on each of their names

for i,v in pairs(Parent:GetChildren()) do --i is index (the child's number in the hierarchy) and v is value(the part)
    if v.Name:lower():match("nuke") then --if the lowercase version of the name has nuke in it then
        --code here
    end
end

replace 'Parent' by the part's parent location in the game hierarchy
