This question already has an answer here:

jQuery match part of class with hasClass 5 answers

I want to see if an <li> has a certain class, the catch is though that they all are unique but all contain a constant string of 'unqID'. I want to check to see if the <li> has a class that contains this string and if it does not, add the new class to the <li>. I know how to find out if an element has an exact class name but do not know how to find partial class names.

<li class="orange blue">
    <div class="answer">Some Content</div>
</li>
<input type="button" name="yellow" value="yellow" class="yellow" />
<input type="text" value="" class="result" />

$("input.yellow").click(function() {
    // CREATE UNIQUE CLASS ID
    var d = new Date();
    var n = d.getTime();
    var unq = "unqID" + n;

    //CHECK TO SEE IF LI ALREADY HAS THE UNIQUE CLASS
    if ($("div.answer").parent().hasClass("unqID")){
        $("input.result").val("has class");
    } else {
        $("div.answer").parent().addClass(unq);
        $("input.result").val("class added");
    };
});

Original Answer

You can do some simple partial checking with

$('[class^="value"]') <-- starts with string
$('[class$="value"]') <-- ends with string
$('[class~="value"]') <-- i believe this is the contains string version

Additional Information

You can reference https://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/ for some documentation on some selectors the api has explinations for. However, I'll include a few of them here.

Starts With

console.log( $('[class^="test"]').get() );

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="test1 example1"></div>
<div class="example2 test2"></div>

This selector will find elements that have an attribute that starts with the text. Note that the result does not include both elements. This is because the literal class attribute for the second one does not start with test. It starts with example. The starts with selector does not evaluate against each word in the attribute. It goes off the entire attribute value.

Ends With

console.log( $('[class$="t2"]').get() );

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="test2 example1"></div>
<div class="example2 test2"></div>

A similar operation is performed for the ends with selector. The entire attribute value is evaluated for the conditional, not each class.

Contains String

console.log( $('[class*="test"]').get() );

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="test1 example1"></div>
<div class="example2 test2"></div>

The contains string version does look for the existance of the string any where in the attribute, regardless of if it is a partial or full value.

Contains Word

console.log( $('[class~="test"]').get() );

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="test1 example1"></div>
<div class="example2 test2"></div>
<div class="example test"></div>

The contains word selector is similar to the contains text selector, with one distinction. The text must be an entire word, not partial text. So it looks for a string in the value that has a space on both sides of it, unless it is at the beginning or end of the value, with a space on the opposite side to make it a non-partial value.
