Eezy peezy. This will only work if the numbers are whole numbers with no decimal points, because I'm treating each number as a "word" object.

set blah to "12" & return & "34" & return & "" & return & "56"
set blah to every word of blah
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {","}
set blah to blah as text
