the simpler way is :
Code:
 echo "123456" | sed 's/\(.\)/\1 /g'

Split string
Sorry got tied up with a issue:
Anyway here is some code samples to help
say we want to initialize an array with "0"

[CODE]
cat $1 |nawk 'BEGIN {
for(x=1;x<27;x++){
a[x]=0
}
Since awk doesn't do multi dimensional arrays say we build 1 for the Alpha by postion
b[1]="A"
b[2]="B"
b[3]="C"
b[4]="D"
..............
}

Now lets walk the input string $0 is the line in and as we hit
the Alpha Chars we increment the correct array value.

[CODE]
{
str_max=(length($0))
for(x=1;x<=str_max;x++){
z=toupper(substr($0,x,1))
if(z == "A"){
a[1]++
}else if(z == "B"){
a[2]++
}else if(z == "C"){
a[3]++

............

Then the end like this
}END{
for(x=1;x<27;x++){
printf("%s: %s\n",b[x],a[x])
}
}'
[\CODE]

output would be like: for the line you supplied.
A: 28
B: 0
C: 9
D: 0
E: 0
F: 0
G: 19

Code:
sed 's/./& /g'

Some awks can do:
Code:
awk '$1=$1' FS=

Or to give an idea of what awk can do
Code:
$ echo "ATGCCAGGGGAGCCCAGAAGGTAAAACTTGATCTGAAATGTATGTTTATATATAATTTAGGTAATCAATTGGCATGTGAA
ATCGCGTATAACGTTTCAGCTTAAAATGCCTATCGCGTATAACGTTTCAGCTTAAAATGCCTATCGCGTATAATGAAGTA" |  
awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)A[$i" "i]++}END{for(i in A)print i, A[i]}' FS= | sort -k1,1 -k2,2n
