Assuming there's only a handful of characters that might be at the beginning
of the test1 string, you could use a regular expression, like so:
var test1 = 'a8';
if (test1.match(/^[abcd]8/)) alert('true');
Run those two lines and you should get an alert box saying 'true'. Change
the a to a z, and you'll get nothing.

Hi,
Can I simplify this if statement?
if (test1 == 'a8' || test1 == 'b8' || test1 == 'c8' || test1 == 'd8'
..........
I must select some values, the first is a letter and the second is a
number (always the number 8: a8, b8, c8, d8, ecc......)
Thaks in advance,
Alfredo
