Check single class from multiple?

Check single class from multiple?

Hello is there a way I can get at a single class when many are defined?
 
  1. var tabClicked = jQuery(this);
         
         if (tabClicked.attr('class') != "current") {

     
         }


The script above doesn't work because the class has multiple definitions i.e.

class="tags current"

Is there a way to easily find a single class out of many?

Thanks in advance
