Answer 1

This is what you are supposed to do.

String first3 = abc.substring(0,3);
boolean found = false;
for (String s : lstValues) {
    if (s.startsWith(first3)) {
        found = true;
        break;
    }
}

if (found) {
    System.out.println("**** Match Found ***");
} else {
    System.out.println("**** No Match Found ****");
}

Go through the list checking each entry until you find a match.
