If you're using a LambdaCore based db, why not just use

 $string_utils:explode("/pub/foo/bar", "/");

(substitute string needed for "pub/foo/bar")

This returns:

=> {"pub", "foo", "bar"}

See "help $string_utils" for more detailed information
(Similarly, it's a good idea to check the help on $list_utils, $code_utils,
etc) for functions which may already perform the action(s)
you want.
