Where are you setting $arg?  Do you mean $line? or are you trying to 
match *foobar* in $argv?

If the latter, you can't just match an array against a pattern (since 
there's no sensible default for whether it's conjunctive or disjunctive 
[any or all]).  I'm not sure of the [[ ]] form offhand, but the (( )) 
form would be:

[[ # what you already have ]] && (( ! $argv[(I)*foobar*] ))
