Depends on your language. Most of them have a method which directly splits the string to an array. Some examples:

Java:

String s = "9/10/11";
String[] foo = s.split("/");

JavaScript:

var s = "9/10/11";
var foo = s.split("/");

.NET:

string s = "9/10/11";
string foo = s.Split("/");

Python:

s = "9/10/11";
foo = s.split('/');

Some characters, like '\' which you're using as a delimeter have to be escaped, so they will be counted as a basic text character, not as an escape character. This means that your delimiter will be defined as "\\" for example in Java:

String foo = s.split("\\");

if using java you can use split function java. that will itself provide you the array of elements split-ed on "/".

The backslash (\) is an escape character in Javascript.
See this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3903661/2408648.

I suggest you to escape all backslashes then you can do:

var str = "9\\10\\16";
console.log(str.split("\\"));

String str = "9\\10\\16" ;
  StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str,"\\");
  String[] array = new String[st.countTokens()];
  for(int i=0;i<st.countTokens();i++)
  {
      array[i] = st.nextToken();
  }

Use \\ in string variable to escape single \ .
