Re: test for a pattern in sh?

I need to do something like this:

if $VAR does not contain SV do something

I found some examples for patterm`n matching with case, but I'd reaher use
an if here, if I can do pattern matching with it.

if ! echo "$VAR"|grep -q SV; then
do_something
fi

or

echo "$VAR"|grep -q SV || do_something
