Is there an inbuilt function for string comparison in modified java script?

Hi Pranjal,  
No there is no inbuilt method to compare strings in Modified Java Script plugin.  
Though localeCompare() method in Javascript can be used to compare.

Also you can use Stream Lookup or Fuzzy Match to do a very good comparison.
