I wold like some help of converting an input (word or number or mix) into a single row vector, such as the following:
If input is ">DAVID123<" I want it to be as {>,D,A,V,I,D,1,2,3,<}
where all letters considered as unknown variables.

Try
ToExpression[Select[Characters[">DAVID123<" ],StringMatchQ[#,LetterCharacter]&]]
which will give you a vector of
{D,A,V,I,D}
as symbols or variables, but C and D and E and I and K have predefined meaning inside of Mathematica and may cause you grief.

$\begingroup$ what about the < and > can I convert them into 0 ? Also where are the numbers {1,2,3} ? $\endgroup$ – Love Eva Sep 17 at 6:39

$\begingroup$ This
ToExpression[Characters[StringReplace[">DAVID123<",PunctuationCharacter:>"0"]]]gives you `{0,D,A,V,I,D,1,2,3,0} $\endgroup$ – Bill Sep 17 at 8:06
