I need to check whether a string contains another string or not?
var str1 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP";
var str2 = "DEFG";
Which function do I use to find out if str1 contains str2?

You can use javascript's indexOf function.
var str1 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP";
var str2 = "DEFG";
if(str1.indexOf(str2) != -1){
console.log(str2 + " found");
}
var str1 = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP";
var str2 = "DEFG";
sttr1.search(str2);
it will return the position of the match, or -1 if it isn't found.
Please try:
str1.contains(str2)

I use,
var text = "some/String";
text.includes("/") <-- returns bool; true if "/" exists in string, false otherwise.
If you are worrying about Case sensitive change the case and compare the string.
if (stringvalue.toLocaleLowerCase().indexOf("mytexttocompare")!=-1)
{
alert("found");
}
simply on foreach loop with you can compare ,separated to strings
var commaseparateMainstring = 'shekar,jagadeesh,pavan,sai,suneel';
var sustring = 'shekar,gopi,raju,suneel';
//adding comma both sides of main string
var main = ',' + commaseparateMainstring + ',';
//substring change as array
var substingArray = listToArray(sustring, ',');
$.each(substingArray, function (index, value) {
//calling is exist method here value means each value in substring
var isexisted = isExist(main, value)
if (isexisted) {
//substring item existed
}
else {
}
});
//isExist method it checks substring exist in mainstring or not
function isExist(mainString, substring) {
if (mainString.indexOf(substring) != -1) {
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
This is working for me
if (~str.indexOf("Yes"))
Below code you can check "hello" string is exit or not in given string.
if (our_string.indexOf('hello') > -1)
{
alert("hello found inside our_string");
}
I hope this answer is useful for you.
