Hi,Thanks for the speed reply.
When i tried " if [ -n $( echo $a | grep '20100614' ) ] " this one
its saying syntax error.
here is the code I used,
Code:
a=21345zef
b=21345
case $a in
*$date*) d=MATCH;;
*) d=NOT A MATCH;;
esac
echo $d
if [ -n $( echo $a | grep '20100614' ) ] then
echo 'eureka'
else
echo 'try again'
fi

Thanks for the speed reply.

a=21345zef
b=21345
if [ "$a" != "${a#*$date}" ]; then

fi
