C Programming - Split an array element into separate chars

Lets say I have an array = {2, 3, ABCD}

First, I need to make the third element equal to a new Array. And I know char newArr [] = array [2] wont work, so how do I go about this?

Second, I need to print out the characters of the newArr one by one. So my output should be A B C D

They should be separated from each other. I know how to do this in java, but I have no idea what the syntax is in C. Your help is greatly appreciated.

No extra library needed:

  typedef struct {char x[100];}helper;
  char *a[]={"2","3","ABCD"}, b[100];
  *(helper*)b=*(helper*)a[2];
  puts(b);

Something like:

char *array[] = {"2", "3", "ABCD"}; // your existing array.
char n        = strlen(array[2]);   // size of 2nd element.
char *newArr  = malloc(n);          // create new array.
int i;  

// populate the new array.
for(i=0;i<n;i++) {
        newArr[i] = array[2][i];
}       

// print.
for(i=0;i<n;i++) {
        printf("%c\n",newArr[i]);
}
