LUA: Testing for multiple strings?

[Fillipuster]

I have an if-statement where I want to test if x is equal to a string. The string however can be anything beginning with "m9k_" (meaning "m9k_gun1" would return true as well as "m9k_horsefarts")
How would I do that?

Any help is appreciated :D

if my_string:match("^m9k_") then
    ...
end

Alternatively use find instead of match with the same input.
