Activate script if map prefix detected

Hello there.
As the title states, how the code would be if mapname prefix is detected?
For example, if I run any map with same prefix (de_dust2, de_inferno, de_season), a script will run, determining that it will only active when these prefix are detected. Optional: print message after script successfully loaded.
It should be something like this in server.lua:
I ask this because I am reworking on my BF 2 Class System script and will create custom map (don't compliment for its cerativity
) based on it.

a little bit of this : 
map
and this : string.match("string","^%a+_")
mapand this : string.match("string","^%a+_")

Alright. Will inform for problems later.

tontonEd: I do not understand those because I am not an advanced scripter lol. By the way thanks for helping though.
@ Talented Doge: That might work. I will try it later.

The problem with Talented Doge's approach is that it assumes the map prefix is three characters long. This will mean that the prefix to de_dust will be "de_", ctf_cs2dfortress will be "ctf" and any custom prefixes longer than 3 characters will get cut off.
tontonEd's approach is better, but he didn't provide the full solution. You can get the map prefix like this (ignoring the _):
If you need the prefix with the _, change your code to this:

local prefix = game("sv_map"):match("^(%a+)_")
-- ctf_cs2dfortress = ctf
-- de_dust = de
-- dfhgjdsfhigdfg_test = dfhgjdsfhigdfg
-- ctf_cs2dfortress = ctf
-- de_dust = de
-- dfhgjdsfhigdfg_test = dfhgjdsfhigdfg

local prefix = game("sv_map"):match("^%a+_")

The variable EngiN33R provided is actually the best approach to the OP. Back in 2012 this was my solution:
