Question

I have found many help for ‘string contain specific substring’ when substring is known so we can specify like – “Number”.in(Str)) OR Str.indexOf(“Number”)

But in my case both String and sub string loaded at run time so i tried like –

function compareTables1(row,kk) {

 $('#table2 tr').each(function(p) {
     if (!this.rowIndex) return; // skip first row

    var customer = $(this).find("td").eq(0).html();
    if (customer.trim() == row.trim()) {
      checkme(this, kk);
    }       
     else
     {
         if (row.in(customer)) {  //why this does not work????
         alert("success sub str check");

     }}});   
  }

link to entire code is –

I am learning Jquery & sure missing something small here.
thanks for help in advance.

using indexOf works. When using indexOf, when value is -1 then it doesn’t contain the string.

Its because you need to trim your string. Updated fiddle works

if (customer.indexOf(row.trim()) > -1) {
