Wouss is correct that a simple search would have shown you the answer. 
Still, I ask questions here and it is my turn to help with an answer.

With something like this:
"Hi this is for test".index('Hi')

you get a nil if there is no match and the starting point of the string 
found if there is one.

e.g.

puts 'string found' unless "Hi this is for test".index('Hi') == nil
