return a list from a complex string

I start with haskell.
I was wondering if I can convert a string to a list of different element's type like that : "1*30%4" -> ['1', '*', '30', '%', '4'] without Parsec
I have already found answers but none really help me...
like map (:) "1*30%4"with GHCI
or with the help of intersperse.
but I do not know how to keep the right formats, I can not, for example, have numbers or float/double in my list because everything is cut one by one : "1*30%4" -> ['1', '*', '3', '0', '%', '4'] or "1*30.4%4" -> ['1', '*', '3', '0', '.', '4', '%', '4']
Someone can help me ?

Would you like to do it with a parsing library like Parsec or just do it with vanilla Haskell?

List in Haskell cannot hold different type of element. like '30' is not a type of Char, so, it must be broken into '3' and '0' in order to store them in list, say ['1', ...'3', '0' ...]. The thing you need may be list of String, say ["1", ... "30", "%"..] right?

yes it's exactly that, with the 'Words' function my program works well, but I have to separate everything with spaces, it's very annoying ...

What's wrong with parser libraries, it's the right tool for the job?

As some users have pointed out, your returning type is [String] instead of [Char]. You can easily achieve this by the following:
import Data.Char
import Data.List
expresionToList :: String -> [String]
expresionToList = groupBy readAsNumber
where readAsNumber c d = pred c && pred d
pred x = isDigit x || x == '.'
predfunction returns True when its input is a digit or a dot, False otherwisereadAsNumbertakes two returns True if both are a digit or a dot- finally you group your string by
readAsNumber
