CODE EXAMPLE FOR JAVASCRIPT

javascript multiple startswith

//There is NO possibility to passing an Array
//like startsWith(["Mon" | "Tues"])
if (newStr4.startsWith("Mon") || newStr4.startsWith("Tues") || ...)

//although you can use regular expression,
//but performance are lower than the solution above
 if (newStr4.matches("(Mon|Tues|Wed|Thurs|Fri).*"))
