discord.js argument startsWith must not be a regular expression

Why does this not work? I need it to find if it starts with a number, and to take it even further, I need it to do this with multiple numbers. For example, if it starts with 1259823 it will do this code. I imagine it's probably because a lot of things can fall in this category, but is there any workaround? Edit: it throws an error because startsWith must not be a regular expression. Workaround is using .test();

String#startsWith only accepts a string argument. You can use ^ anchor to match the start of the string and use RegExp#test to verify the input.

if(/^[0-9]/.test(msg.content)){
   //...
}
