Something like this:

return (([@"Test Super" rangeOfString:@"Super"]).location != NSNotFound);

In case anyone is wondering, every single one of those parentheses is unnecessary. It's evidently just a style thing.

You mean unnecessary on Stack Overflow.

NSRange textRange; textRange =[string rangeOfString:substring];

if(textRange.location != NSNotFound)
{

//Does contain the substring
}

Use rangeOfString: and check if the result's location is equal to NSNotFound.

[@"Test Super" rangeOfString:@"Super"].location != NSNotFound //YES
[@"Test Super" rangeOfString:@"Supper"].location != NSNotFound //NO

This seems like the exact OPPOSITE of what OP wants. He wants not equal to NSNotFound.

Oh, I was just giving examples, not solving his precise need. But I will reverse the logic, to remove confusion.
