You can always use a regex. If you dont know what a regex is, i strongly suggest you read Lesson: Regular Expressions (The Java™ Tutorials > Essential Classes)

Code:

                // all the patterns that are going to have to be matched
		String [] array = {"bfg", "fgj", "cde", "efg", "ght"}; 
		Matcher m;
		// scans trough each pattern
		for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
                        // creates a new pattern for each element in the array
			Pattern p = Pattern.compile(array[i]);
                        // attepts to match the created pattern to the specified string
			m = p.matcher("abcdefg");
                        // if the pattern matches: print
			if (m.find())
				System.out.println(array[i] + " is contained");
		}
