If you're trying to remove the zeros, then it's just a bit more complex:
set text item delimiters to {"0"}
set foo to text items of "102030405060708090"
set text item delimiters to {""}
foo
--> {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", ""}
A little touch up is necessary to remove that final empty string,
caused by that final zero.
set theString to "102030405060708090000"
if the list is really that regular you can use a repeat loop and if
it's large you can use Serge's script object method.
set old_string to "102030304050606070809010203040506070809"
-- or a very long string
script _quick
global old_string
property fast_string : old_string
property new_list : {}
end script
repeat with i from 1 to (count _quick's fast_string) by 2
set end of _quick's new_list to item i of _quick's fast_string
end repeat
return _quick's new_list
