How to find a substring inside a string via JavaScript in SharePoint?

Question

i have the following solution:

var audience = "Nderon Hyseni John Champion Martin Tyler";
var _username = user.get_title(); //This variable show the user that is currently logged in

Example:

I am logged in with a user which name is Nderon Hyseni, how can i say if _username (this username Nderon Hyseni is currently logged in) value is in audience variable alert("Pass") if not alert(failed)

thanks all!

var audience = "Nderon Hyseni John Champion Martin Tyler";
var _username = user.get_title(); //Nderon Hyseni
if(audience.Contains(_username)){
   //found
} else {
   //not found
}

I haven't wrote in c# for months, but it should work.

EDIT Whoooa... javascript ;D

var audience = "Nderon Hyseni John Champion Martin Tyler";
var _username = user.get_title(); //Nderon Hyseni
if(audience.indexOf(_username) > -1){
   //found
} else {
   //not found
}

This should work :)

Sorry for such late response. Yeah indexOf does exactly what you said, and that's why there is -1. It means that _username is not present in audience. In this example it would return 0, because audience begins with string stored in _username. :)

var str = "NderonHyseniBurimRamusaAlenScott"; 
var test = "NderonHyseni";//username

var res = str.match(test);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = res;

if(res != null)    
    alert("true");
