AFAIK, in VBS, it's not possible to split each character one by one with the "Split" method. Here is a work around:

'---example of text string: t---
t="abcdef"
'
'-----get text lenght-----
x=Len(t)
'---automaticaly Dim'ing the array while we don't know the number of items---
Execute "Dim c(" & x & ")"
'----populate the array-----
For i=0 To x
c(i)=Mid(t,i+1,1)
Next
'
'---That's it---
'---Now, view the result in message box (or do something else with it)-----
'
i=0
Do Until c(i)=""
MsgBox c(i)
i=i+1
Loop

Here is a Regex way. It generates a collection of match objects instead of an array, but the result is essentially the same.

Set oRE = New Regexp
oRE.Pattern = "."
oRE.Global = True
theString= "This*&(*&^%is_ The&^%&^%><><.,.,.,';';'; String"
Set colMatches = oRE.Execute(theString)
For Each oMatch In colMatches
WScript.Echo oMatch.Value
Next
