Suppose you have:

A = 'a b c';

Possibly obtained by:

A = get(handles.myTextEdit,'String');

Then to get each character (including spaces) separately, you can use:

>> B = num2cell(A)
B = 
    'a'    ' '    'b'    ' '    'c'

Or if you want to only get the actual letters, i.e. split on the space character, you could use REGEXP:

>> C = regexp(A,' ','split')
C = 
    'a'    'b'    'c'
