hello ,

can use awk
Code:
 awk '/^test/{print "starts with test";next}/test$/{print "ends with test";next;}/test/{print "contains test"}'

Otherwise in sh can use parameter expansion ->

Code:
if [ ${var%t*} = 'tes' ];then echo 'starts with the test';fi
if [ ${var2#*t} = 'est' ];then echo 'ends with the test';fi

Othewise the case statement is always there as specified above by jilliagre.

Regards,
Gaurav.
