Smarty help, please?

I am seeking to compare the first x characters of a var string - for example:

let's says there's a variable: $variablename

{if $variablename 1st 5 characetrs = 1ZAB1}
then show something
{else}
show something else.

Can this be done in smarty?

My goal is to trap the first 5 characters of a tracking number -- and if it looks like 1ZAB1, then it is clearly UPS, and I will show a UPS tracking link. ELSE it can only be USPS (and a different tracking link)

Any ideas?

Thanks.
