Condition if string (name) contains a certain letters

Posted on by acolyter

Hi,

How do I create a condition that allows me to check if a string contains a specific 'name'? What I want is to have a condition that checks if there's a certain 3 letter identifier included in a string that's in a sharepoint list column.

Thanks!

@acolyter

I agree with the solution provided by @barret but would like to add that you need to put single quotes around the string for which you are searching.

You'll want to use an expression that uses the indexOf string function. Something like:

indexOf(stringToSearch, stringYouAreSearchingFor)

And you'll want to check if the result is >= 0. If it is, the string contains the search text. If the result is -1, it doesn't contain the text you are searching for.
