How to execute a function if url contains "x" in jQuery

Question

I'd like to execute the function up(); if the url contains "invt".

So far I have this:

if(window.location.pathname == "/invt/"){
  alert("invt");
}

However, this wasn't alerting for me. Any ideas?

I've since got this to work, thanks to the answers below.

Consider:

$(document).ready(function () {
   if(window.location.href.indexOf("invt") > -1) { //checks url for "invt" (all products contain this)
     up();
     return;
       }
      });

That's not contains - that means if it is "/invt/" with no text before or after. See answers below for usage of .indexOf() — MDEV

Try this:

if ( window.location.pathname.indexOf('invt') >= 0 )
{
 alert("invt");
}

You can use indexOf():

if (-1 != location.pathname.indexOf('invt')) {
    alert ("GO");
}
