If you are using plain c++, you can use the following code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>

int main() {
  using namespace std;
  vector<string> v;
  string s = "/path/to/foo/bar";
  istringstream iss(s);
  while (!iss.eof())
  {
    string x;
    getline(iss, x, '/');
    v.push_back(x);
  }

  for (vector<string>::iterator it = v.begin() ; it != v.end(); ++it)
    cout << *it << endl;
}
