[SOLVED] Find substring in shell script variable

Issue

I have a string

$VAR="I-UAT"; 

in my shell script code. I need a conditional statement to check if "UAT" is present in that string.

What command should I use to get either true or false boolean as output? Or is there any other way of checking it?

Solution

What shell? Using bash:

if [[ "$VAR" =~ "UAT" ]]; then
    echo "matched"
else
    echo "didn't match"
fi
