Validate based on contains

I have two channel variables

${DOBS}=011019990205200103092000
${CI}=02052001

If CI existed within the larger concatenated DOBS string, I want to goto A, If CI was not part of DOBS I would go to B. So in the above example I would go to A.

How can I write in the dial plan if contains, pass?

Surprisingly I can’t find a POS function, but if you know that there a no regular expression meta characters, you could use the “:” operator, otherwise use STRREPLACE with an empty string, and see if the length changes.
