TEXT CONTAINS TEXT Operator
The TEXT CONTAINS TEXT operator returns a value of true if the first text value CONTAINS the second text value.
You can use this operator, which returns a true/false value, as a condition for IF statements.

Example
Assume you have a template that uses serial numbers for parts that has different sections to identify things about the part, a prefix and suffix denoting different things. For example, you can use the TEXT CONTAINS TEXT operator to check the serial number for a particular pattern:
IF SerialNumberTE CONTAINS "X17N"
Please note, when using the NOT modifier, parentheses are required:
IF (NOT SerialNumberTE CONTAINS "X17N")
