In Javascript, is there a way in an if statment to state the following if (ele.[i].name == "quoteStat*" where the asterisk can be numbers or letters?

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (ele[i].name.match(/quoteStat.+/)) alert();
// -->
</script>

What if the portion of /quoteStat was a variable such as str? Would you have if (ele[i].name.match(/str.+/))?

Thanks for the help, Charles. This worked the way we wanted it to.
