The XSLT2/Xpath2 drafts have proposals for adding regexp to XSLT, but in
XSLt1 there is no such support.

 Say if I want to check the equality of
 third character of the second word, which is present
 in XML tag then how I test it???

several libraries will allow you to split up teh input character data on
spaces, eiethr using native XSLT1 recursive templates, or a procesor
specic tokenize extension.

then you can use substring(.,3) to look at the third letter of the
resulting substrings (so long as you ignore tricky internationalisation
issues with combining characters, etc.)
