how to grep for string in log file

Hi

Im running a backup scriptwhich creates a log file

how do grep for the string in the logfile so the backup script can continue to next stage otherwise it will exit

i.e

12:32:53 INF - Client completed sending data for backup

12:33:02 INF - Backup by root on client lonbob04bak using policy Business_Objects_User, sched bus_obj_user: the requested operation was successfully completed.

so want to have something like:


if

[logfile | grep "the requested operation was successfully completed"]

then continue
