Possible Duplicates:
Check if text is in a string
JavaScript: string contains

I’m trying to check if a string I import into my application has a certain piece of text. I know how to do this with jQuery, but how do I do it with straight up JavaScript?

Answer 1

Here you go: ES5

var test = 'Hello World';
if( test.indexOf('World') >= 0){
  // Found world
}

With ES6 best way would be to use includes function to test if the string contains the looking work.

const test = 'Hello World';
if (test.includes('World')) { 
  // Found world
}
