Check if any list item match variable

The goal is to verify if the string matches any of list item.

This is opposite to CHECK IF VARIABLE EXISTS in the list

Code should be similar to:

email="john.brown@google.com"
list=["app-1", "app-2", "john"]

if [ $email -contains $list]; then
  echo "email contains variable from list"
else
  echo "email does not contain any of list items"
fi

# Item1: false -> email does not contains "app-1"
# Item2: false -> email does not contains "app-2"
# Item3: true  -> email contains "john"

>Solution :

Try with:

#!/bin/bash

email="john.brown@google.com"
list=("app-1" "app-2" "john")

found=false

for item in "${list[@]}"; do
  if [[ $email == *"$item"* ]]; then
    echo "Found!"
    found=true
    break
  fi
done

if [ $found == false ]; then
  echo "Not found."
fi
