Using a Like statement within if a trigger issue

I would like to use a if statement in a trigger that checks if the User Profile is like 'ABC Customer Portal'. The following snippet doesn't like the use of the 'Like' keyword. I have also tried  ' += ' but that results in a error that 'And can be used only with boolean expressions'.

 

What is the proper syntax for using a like contition withn a If statement?

 

Regards,

 

 String pf = u.ProfileId; 
 Profile pfName = [select Name from profile where id = :pf];
 String UserId = u.Id; 
  
 if (contactId!=null && contactId!='' && (pfName.Name  LIKE '%ABC Customer Portal%')) 
{    
.
.
.
}

Try the contains String method instead:
String pf = u.ProfileId; 
Profile pfName = [select Name from profile where id = :pf];
String UserId = u.Id; 
String profName = pfName.Name;
String abcPortal = 'ABC Customer Portal';
if (contactId!=null && contactId!='' && profName.contains(abcPortal))
{
.
.
.
}
