How to search for specific characters within a string?

String : 

 [email protected]

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 also

s='[email protected]'

[[ "$s" =~ (.*)@(.*)\.com ]] && echo "name: ${BASH_REMATCH[1]} domain ${BASH_REMATCH[2]}.com"

You can do it like this:

s='[email protected]'

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