How to check a text contains a certain character within selenium

Question

I have a method below where I retrieve a HTML tag:

    public void CheckEmailDisplayed()
    {
        var email = _driver.FindElement(ConfirmationResponsiveElements.ViewEmail);

    }

ViewEmail is below:

public static By ViewEmail => By.ClassName("confirmation-banner__text");

The HTML it corresponds to is:

<div class="confirmation-banner__text firefinder-match">
<p>
 We've sent an email to
<strong>[email protected]</strong>
</p>
<p>
</div>

What I want to do is be able to use the variable email to check that the text contains an @. This is to help determine an email address is displayed. How can this be achieved?

Thanks

Option 1: Check for the @ symbol

        string email = "[email protected]";
        if (email.Contains("@"))
        {
            // code here
        }

Option 2: Validate Email Address

public static bool IsEmail(string emailToValidate)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(emailToValidate)) return true;

    return Regex.IsMatch(emailToValidate, @"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$");
}

How to use option 2:

        string email = "[email protected]";            
        if (IsEmail(email))
        {
            // valid email address
        }
        else
        {
            // not a valid email address
        }

You can add another definition

public static By ViewEmailAddress => By.TagName("strong");

Then use

var emailAddress = emai.FindElement(ConfirmationResponsiveElements.ViewEmailAddress);
var emailAddressText = emailAddress.Text;

And then you can do different operations that you want on emailAddressText. Like validating it having @ or doing more complex validations like a email pattern check

You can use IndexOf method

bool found = Value1.IndexOf("abc", 0, 7) != -1;

OR

You can also use regular expressions (less readable though)

string regex = "^.{0,7}abc";

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex reg = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(regex);
string Value1 = "sssddabcgghh";

Console.WriteLine(reg.Match(Value1).Success);
