这里回答的问题的扩展如何判断POSIX sh中的字符串是否包含另一个字符串？：

此解决方案适用于特殊字符：

# contains(string, substring)
#
# Returns 0 if the specified string contains the specified substring,
# otherwise returns 1.
contains() {
    string="$1"
    substring="$2"

    if echo "$string" | $(type -p ggrep grep | head -1) -F -- "$substring" >/dev/null; then
        return 0    # $substring is in $string
    else
        return 1    # $substring is not in $string
    fi
}

contains "abcd" "e" || echo "abcd does not contain e"
contains "abcd" "ab" && echo "abcd contains ab"
contains "abcd" "bc" && echo "abcd contains bc"
contains "abcd" "cd" && echo "abcd contains cd"
contains "abcd" "abcd" && echo "abcd contains abcd"
contains "" "" && echo "empty string contains empty string"
contains "a" "" && echo "a contains empty string"
contains "" "a" || echo "empty string does not contain a"
contains "abcd efgh" "cd ef" && echo "abcd efgh contains cd ef"
contains "abcd efgh" " " && echo "abcd efgh contains a space"

contains "abcd [efg] hij" "[efg]" && echo "abcd [efg] hij contains [efg]"
contains "abcd [efg] hij" "[effg]" || echo "abcd [efg] hij does not contain [effg]"

contains "abcd *efg* hij" "*efg*" && echo "abcd *efg* hij contains *efg*"
contains "abcd *efg* hij" "d *efg* h" && echo "abcd *efg* hij contains d *efg* h"
contains "abcd *efg* hij" "*effg*" || echo "abcd *efg* hij does not contain *effg*"

我喜欢sed。

substr="foo"
nonsub="$(echo "$string" | sed "s/$substr//")"
hassub=0 ; [ "$string" != "$nonsub" ] && hassub=1

编辑，逻辑：

使用sed从字符串中删除子字符串的实例如果新字符串与旧字符串不同，则存在子字符串

msg="message"

function check {
    echo $msg | egrep [abc] 1> /dev/null

    if [ $? -ne 1 ];
    then 
        echo "found" 
    else 
        echo "not found" 
    fi
}

check

这将发现a、b或c的任何出现

我的.bash_profile文件以及我如何使用grep：

如果PATH环境变量包含我的两个bin目录，请不要追加它们，

# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
fi

U=~/.local.bin:~/bin

if ! echo "$PATH" | grep -q "home"; then
    export PATH=$PATH:${U}
fi

公认的答案是正确的，但很难阅读和理解。对于与搜索相关的问题，应始终使用$needle in a$haystack习语。由于建议的编辑队列已满，我发布了以下内容：

haystack='There are needles here.'
if [[ "$haystack" == *"needle"* ]]; then
    echo "It's there!"
fi

公认的答案是最好的，但由于有不止一种方法可以做到这一点，这里有另一种解决方案：

if [ "$string" != "${string/foo/}" ]; then
    echo "It's there!"
fi

${var/search/replace}是$var，如果找到了第一个搜索实例，则将其替换为replace（它不会更改$var）。如果您试图将foo替换为空，并且字符串发生了更改，那么很明显找到了foo。
