What I have often done in a case like this is: Add the separator (space in this case) at each end of the list. So, if the initial string is "101 203 455" I turn that into " 101 203 455 ". LIST=" ${LIST} " Then I match the desired string, also surrounded by spaces, like this: [ -z "${LIST##* ${DESIRED} *}" ] && { ... } This uses simple bash globbing stuff that seems to work everywhere. It's an idiom I've become accustomed to :-) ...
