How about the following (using strings for convenience), untested:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#include <strings.h>
void switchonpattern(const char *pattern)
{
static const char *patterns[] = {NULL
,"pattern1"
,"pattern2"
....
,"patternN");

What if a pattern contains a 0 byte?

Note the underlined above. If you want arrays, use arrays and
memcmp. You may then need a length parameter in addition, or a
record with a length field.
