[SOLVED] Python – Check If Word Is In A String

Issue

I’m working with Python v2, and I’m trying to find out if you can tell if a word is in a string.

I have found some information about identifying if the word is in the string – using .find, but is there a way to do an IF statement. I would like to have something like the following:

if string.find(word):
    print("success")

Thanks for any help.

Solution

What is wrong with:

if word in mystring: 
   print('success')
