I have hostname like following

www-foo-1001-1-1.example.com

I am writing script to which should deploy application which has following string match 1001-<any digit>-<any digit>

Example: script should match following hostname. 

www-foo-1001-1-49
www-foo-1001-4-37
www-foo-1001-2-12
www-foo-1001-8-4

Ignore this pattern in hostname.

www-foo-1001-1-2-49
www-foo-1001-1-1-49
www-foo-1001-1
www-foo-1001

it has to match this pattern 1001-N-N and ignore anything else.

More details i want to do if then.. and return exit status code with $? to throw error who are not matching standard hostname.

bash extended patterns are enabled within [[ ... ]]; so you can do

hosts=( www-foo-1001-1-49 www-foo-1001-4-37 www-foo-1001-2-12 www-foo-1001-8-4 www-foo-1001-1-2-49 www-foo-1001-1-1-49 www-foo-1001-1 www-foo-1001 )
pattern='*-1001-+([[:digit:]])-+([[:digit:]])'
for h in "${hosts[@]}"; do
    if [[ $h == $pattern ]]; then
        echo "OK: $h"
    else
        echo "no: $h"
    fi
done

OK: www-foo-1001-1-49
OK: www-foo-1001-4-37
OK: www-foo-1001-2-12
OK: www-foo-1001-8-4
no: www-foo-1001-1-2-49
no: www-foo-1001-1-1-49
no: www-foo-1001-1
no: www-foo-1001

My pattern starts with *-1001- where I'm assuming that you don't want to match 11001 or 21001 etc.

The == operator in [[ ... ]] is a pattern matching operator.

The right-hand operand is the pattern variable, but unquoted. That allows interpretation of the variable's value as a pattern not a string.

Using bash:

$ touch www-foo-1001  www-foo-1001-1  www-foo-1001-1-1-49  www-foo-1001-1-2-49  www-foo-1001-1-49  www-foo-1001-2-12  www-foo-1001-4-37  www-foo-1001-8-4
$ for f in *
do
  [[ $f =~ 1001-[[:digit:]]+-[[:digit:]]+$ ]] && printf 'Yes: %s\n' "$f"
done
Yes: www-foo-1001-1-49
Yes: www-foo-1001-2-12
Yes: www-foo-1001-4-37
Yes: www-foo-1001-8-4

This uses bash's regular expression conditional operator to test the argument against:

  • contains 1001-
  • followed by some number of digits
  • followed by a -
  • followed by some number of digits
  • followed by nothing else: $
