Find out whether an environment variable contains a substring

Question

I need to find out if a certain environment variable (let\'s say Foo) contains a substring (let\'s say BAR) in a windows batch file. Is there any way to do this using only

Answer 1

Of course, just use good old findstr:

echo.%Foo%|findstr /C:"BAR" >nul 2>&1 && echo Found || echo Not found.

Instead of echoing you can also branch elsewhere there, but I think if you need multiple statements based on that the following is easier:

echo.%Foo%|findstr /C:"BAR" >nul 2>&1
if not errorlevel 1 (
   echo Found
) else (
    echo Not found.
)

Edit: Take note of jeb's solution as well which is more succinct, although it needs an additional mental step to figure out what it does when reading.
