search string

[SOL9MAN]

IF I had a UNIX Variable defined as the following.

typeset var1="ABCDE\1FGHIJ"

I need to test whether var1 variable has the substring "\1" within the whole string.

Has anybody got an idea of how I test for a substring within the string.

thanks & regards

if [[ $var1 = *\1* ]]
then
echo true
fi

case $var1 in
*\\1*) echo found;;
*) echo not found;;
esac
