Sorry guys I am new to this all and am learning as I go along. I was hoping some can at least point me in the right direction as every where I look isn't helping

I want my bot to reply when it see a certain word in a message i.e the word "Ping" and reply with the word Pong

Me - hello please Ping with Pong
Bot reply - "Pong"

It is suggested is used - if (message.content == ('ping')

this only seems to work is the only word in the message is ping it will not work if I used anything else

Any ideas to help out an idiot, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

I have seen the .includes this does nothing and I am unsure why
