Smile Check for empty string

Hello All,

I have written shell script whcih at the max 3 parameters.

When only one commandline argument and other two command line arguments are passed as empty string like

eg : archive ' ' ' '

Then i need to check whether the commandline arguments are empty or not.

i have use -n and ! -z but both of them fail for the above scenario.

Please let me know what is the alternative to solve this problem.

Thanks in anticipation
