Checking if PWD contains directory name

Question

I want to find out if the PWD contains a certain directory name in it, it should be able to test it being anywhere in the output.

For example I have structure paths like public/bower_components/name/ and also have paths which are just public.

I want to test because the contents of the folder name move into the public folder and the bower_components folder is removed.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use BASH regex for this:

[[ "$PWD" =~ somedir ]] && echo "PWD has somedir" 

OR using shell glob:

[[ "$PWD" == *somedir* ]] && echo "PWD has somedir" 

Answer 2

You can use case:

case "$PWD" in     */somedir/*) …;;     *) ;; # default case esac 

You can use [[:

if [[ "$PWD" = */somedir/* ]]; then … 

You can use regex:

if [[ "$PWD" =~ somedir ]]; then … 

and there are more ways, to boot!
