validateInput "16" "1 3 4 5" this should return fail (1) as 6 is not in the allowedInput string.. currently the function return success because "1" is in the allowedInput string.. but I somehow need it to verify all the numbers in the first parameter

Code:

$
$
$ cat -n f38
     1  #!/usr/bin/bash
     2  x=$1
     3  y=$2
     4  i=0
     5  while [ $i -lt ${#x} ]; do
     6    d=${x:$i:1}
     7    if ! [[ " $y " =~ " $d " ]]
     8    then
     9      echo "$d does not exist in $y"
    10      return 1
    11    fi
    12    i=`expr $i + 1`
    13  done
    14  echo "$x exists in $y"
    15  return 0
$
$
$ . f38 "1" "1 2 3 4"
1 exists in 1 2 3 4
$
$
$ . f38 "123" "1 2 3 4"
123 exists in 1 2 3 4
$
$
$ . f38 "0123" "1 2 3 4"
0 does not exist in 1 2 3 4
$
$
$ . f38 "1236" "1 2 3 4"
6 does not exist in 1 2 3 4
$
$
$ . f38 "1237" "1 2 3 77 4"
7 does not exist in 1 2 3 77 4
