shell script + match word without echo command

Question

the following test syntax is part of ksh script

   [[ $PARAM = TRUE ]] &&  [[ ` echo $LINE_FROM_FILE | grep -c Validation ` -eq 1 ]] && print "find Validation word"

Can I get some other creative syntax/solution/command to verify if Validation word exists in LINE_FROM_FILE without to use the echo command?

LINE_FROM_FILE="123 Validation V125 tcp IP=1.2.56.4"

	not good because if I have Validatio and not Validation its also match , did you have other solution – lidia Aug 25 '10 at 10:30
	Are you sure that this is with ksh then? `==` should do glob matching, and `=~` does regex matching. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Aug 25 '10 at 10:37
	try with LINE_FROM_FILE="1 2 3 ValidationWORD" its also match – lidia Aug 25 '10 at 10:58
	But that would match with your original command as well. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Aug 25 '10 at 12:07
