button matching game: how to check to see if two buttons have matching tags

[JHawk24821]

I am building a simple card matching game where the user picks two buttons on a form out of a group of buttons in an attempt to find a match. I have already taken care of the randomization needed to make each game different, but I can't figure out how to check to see if the cards match.

Pseudocode:

when any one of a group of buttons is pressed
  set button's text = button's tag
  note the button's tag
  search point array for tag, and note the other tag needed for a match
  set game to a "looking for match" state to true
 
then
 
when the next button is pressed
  set button's text = button's tag
  note the button's tag
  see if the current button's tag matches the tag needed for a match
  if it does
    set both this button and the first button clicked to enabled = false
  else if it doesn't
    set both this button and the first button clicked text back to (blank)
  set game to a "looking for match" state to false
 

The main problem I am having is figuring out a way to run code based on "any button of a group of buttons" being clicked. The 24 buttons on the form are named button_01..butt on_20 - surely there is a cleaner way to do this than write the code 20 times, once for each button? Perhaps something like "if a button with the name button_{x}{y} is clicked, do this, where x = 0-2 and y = 0-9?

I believe I have the rest of the game worked out - just can't figure out how to get that first step out of the way!

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer - even if it's to say "you are going about his all wrong!", which could easily be the case.

Two ways
Give the button an attribute of card. Match the card attribute.

Make a card array and assign each button a card in the array.
if the two buttons match the same card then there's a match.

Use some OOP so the code isn't being re-used.
