Anyone have an elegant solution to this?

I have a series of servers, all beginning with the same 4 letter string.
I'd like to check for the first 4 letters, rather than the entire string.
In other words, how can I do a LEFT$ in a script?

current solution that blows:

if '%computername%' == 'TCCA01' goto skip_notice
if '%computername%' == 'TCCA02' goto skip_notice
etc....

Thanks for any assistance.
