selector

I use JQuery for my web application. I don't know how to write a selector for this situation.

<a class="abc def xyz-delete-confirm efg">text</a>

<a class="abc def delete-confirm">text</a>

I need to find all links that has a class ending with "-delete-confirm" or has a class called "delete-confirm".

I know how to handle the situation of having a class called "delete-confirm". How about the "-delete-confirm situation"? Can I have a single selector covering two situations?

Thanks for any input!

Regards.
