How to split a string character by character?

Question

So I have a variable text where I got this input (String) from my users. I want to split the String character by character. I tried using the split method with blank divisor but it isn't working. Below is a snippet of the code.

textArray = text.split("", true);

I tried "\0" as divisor but the engine say that it's an invalid escape sequence.

Any work around?

Edit: It seem that I need to use RegEx with "(?!^)". I am still trying to figure out how to use it. Any help will be appreciated.

You can access the characters in a String like you would with a normal array:

var st = "abc"
print(st[0])

prints a.
