How to find any text within a value of an attribute of a tag using jquery

hi is there any way i can find specific text within a value of an atrribute of an HTML tag, To be more specific, im trying to find out if the tag has "selected" within its "src" attribute e.g in this case i need to find out if selected exists, I can go in other routes to do this but i need this as a condition.

I am selecting the src of the img tag and adding this special text, but i dont want it to keep on adding e.g in this case its defeating the purpose of what im trying to do. I need to know if Selected has been inserted then ignore the particular image.

 $(this).hover(function(){
var currentName = $(this).attr("src");
var theNumToSub = currentName.length - 4;
$(this).attr("src",$(this).attr("src").substr(0,theNumToSub)+"selected.jpg");

});

here is my code above for adding "Selected" in the first instance.

You can use indexOf()

if($(this).attr("src").indexOf('selected')>0){
  //selected is there in src
  //your stuff here
}

You can use the jQuery attribute contains selector :

$("img[src*='selected']");

You can try with:

$(this).filter('[src$="selected.jpg"]');

it returns the same element if src ends with selected.jpg.

You can also filter if anywhere in src is selected keyword with:

$(this).filter('[src*="selected"]');
