Hi jeyanthi,
you can use the "match pattern" function. Search for strings and if the "offset past match" is -1, then there is no string in it.

In the Comparison palette is a function called Lexical Class. It will tell whether a character is numeric, upper case, lower case, white space, and a few other categories. It only works on one character at a time so you would need to loop through your input string.
