Batch - If not (this) or (that) or (this one) do (that one)?

Question

I'm simply curious as to whether or not it is possible to use any operations on the 'if not' command, namely or. The type of thing I want would be along the lines of;

if not var==(a1 || a2 || a3 || a4) goto dothis
:dothis

Or, the word 'or' being used instead of '||', I hope you know what I'm getting at. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it? Thanks in advanced,

His is if. Mine is if not. – user2960215 Dec 09 '13 at 02:50 — user2960215, Dec 09 '13 at 02:50
