Detect if a String Contains Another String when the string is delimited unusually [duplicate]

Question

I have a string delimited like so (it's not an array it's a straight string)

string = " [United States] [Canada] [India] ";

I want to do something like below.

if( string contains "Canada" ) {  //Do Canada stuff here } 

Thanks for any tips

var string = '[United States][Canada][India]'; var search = 'Canada'; if (string.indexOf('[' + search + ']') !== -1) {   // Whatever }
