How to search for specific characters within a string?

Question

String :

 name@gmail.com

Want to check for :

@
.com

if those two are found, I want to set my boolean true

bool_one=true

How do I do this? I tried

if [ $word|grep[@] = $word]

but it's not working.

You can do it like this:

s='name@gmail.com'

[[ "$s" == *@*.com ]] && echo "true"
