Multiple Condition If statement

Hi,

I would like to create an IF statement where if a variable is equal to at least one of 2 (or more) values then the script proceeds. For example:

TEST_VAR=2

if [ TEST_VAR -eq /(2 -o 3 -o 7 -o 8 /) ]; then
echo success!
else
echo failure
fi

I understand that the above syntax is wrong but I feel it must be close. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mike
