Shell check if string contains substring

# Example usage:
FULLSTRING='Full string to search'
if [[ $FULLSTRING == *"ll str"* ]]; then
	echo "The substring 'll str' is in the full string."
fi

# Example to check for two substrings:
FULLSTRING='Full string to search'
if [[ $FULLSTRING == *"Full"* && $FULLSTRING == *"to"* ]]; then
	echo "The substrings 'Full' and 'to' are in the full string."
fi
