Default Conditional Test for Text String

Hi,

I need to know how to test a variable for the first 10 letters of the variable string. For example,

I have a variable that could have the following values.

1. Buy Now Get ...
2. Buy 3 Save ...
3. $1 OFF ...

I need to test the first 10 characters for the Buy 3 Save $25.80 or it might say Buy 3 Save $16.80. In either case I need the {if} test to test for the Buy 3 Save presence and ignore the others.

How would I do a partial text compare like that?

Thanks,

Randal
