Post Build conditional that checks for a string containing another string (instead of ==)

I have a post build event like this:

if NOT "$(OutDir)" == "Binaries\" "$(SolutionDir)Tools\NuGet.exe" pack "$(ProjectDir)MyAssembly.nuspec" -BasePath "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)."

But what I really want to do is check to see if $(OutDir) Contains the word Binaries.

Is there a way to do this? I tried:

if NOT "$(OutDir)".Contains("Binaries") "$(SolutionDir)Tools\NuGet.exe" pack "$(ProjectDir)MyAssembly.nuspec" -BasePath "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)."

But it does not work.

So, as a bonus point, what language is the "Post-Build" event supposed to be?

Turns out it is MS-Dos. So most batch file kind of stuff is allowed.

Here is the command I ended up using:

@Echo off&Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set BinariesVar=Binaries
set "PathDir=$(OutDir)"
IF "!PathDir:%BinariesVar%=!" NEQ "%PathDir%" (if $(ConfigurationName) == Release "$(SolutionDir)Tools\NuGet.exe" pack "$(ProjectDir)MyAssembly.nuspec" -BasePath "$(OutDir).") else (if $(ConfigurationName) == Release "$(SolutionDir)Tools\NuGet.exe" pack "$(ProjectDir)MyAssembly.nuspec" -BasePath "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir).")

This will use the first path is the build is not via TFS and the second path for TFS Builds.
