How do you disassemble a word into a list of letters?

    I probably should know how to do this, but I don't.
    I have a text object outputting short words one at a time from a text file, and each word needs to be converted to a list of letters so I can process the letters one at a time. Could someone give me a hint how to do this?
    Thanks!

      if you don´t want to use [regexpr] you could do it "manually" as well with [spell] and [itoa]. the [zl group 1] is nescessary for filtering of spaces and symbol-marks.

      regexp probably wins for this one, but here's one with tier, atoi, and itoa.
