Batch File %COMPUTERNAME%

[Dre']

I need to create a batch file that looks at the first "5" characters
of
a %COMPUTERNAME% to determine where to go in a batch file.

ie. if $COMPUTERNAME% == PC-AD-xxx goto load99

if %COMPUTERNAME% == %COMPUTERNAME% works for all computer names but I
would like to select a subset of computer names to run the batch file.

Is there a wildcard or syntax for this scenario?

Thanks in advance!

If /i "%Compuername:~0,5%" EQU "PC-AD" goto load99
