I'm following the answer in Check a string for a substring in a batch file (Windows)?. Wald's answer,

set YourString=This is a test

If NOT "%YourString%"=="%YourString:test=%" (
    echo Yes
) else (
    echo No
)

does kinda work. However, I'm having trouble changing test= into a variable of my own. I followed another answer of concatenating 2 variables but none of them seemed to work. Basically, I want to check if 'YourString' contains 'OtherString' without a super long amount of code.

Here is the code I have right now

set YourString=This is a test
set OtherString=test

If NOT "%YourString%"=="%YourString:%%=%" (
    echo Yes
echo !YourString%OtherString%=!
pause
) else (
    echo No
echo "%YourString:test=%"
pause
)

    Interesting that you know to use delayed expansion on the echo !YourString%OtherString%=! line (that I suspect is supposed to be echo !YourString:%OtherString%=! but you aren't using it in the if statement as !YourString:%OtherString%=! Commented Jun 13, 2022 at 18:11
