How do I split a word into characters shell script

[Tison]

I have a text string (eg dummy) which I need to split into "d u m m y"
Logic flow;
TXT=dummy
for each CHAR in $TXT
do
RESULT=$RESULT" "$CHAR
done
echo $RESULT

#!/usr/bin/ksh
TXT=dummy
LNTH=`echo $TXT | wc -c`
x=0
RESULT=""
while [ $x -ne $LNTH ]
do
let x=$x+1
RESULT="$RESULT`echo $TXT | cut -c $x` "
done
echo $RESULT


crowe
