Chip,
I think what you want is to parse the path into its component parts.
This this pattern for matching:
([ \w\d-_]+):
This will match letters, numbers, spaces, underscores and dashes up to the
semi colon. You will want to use it in a loop like so:
$pattern:="([ \\w\\d-_]+):"
$start:=1
While(Match regex($patters;$text;$start;$aPos;$aLen)) // pass arrays for
pos and len
// $aLen[0] will be the length of the entire match
// $aLen[1] will be the length of the match within the parens
APPEND TO ARRAY($aTheParts;Substring($text;$aPos{1};$aLen{1})
$start:=$aPos{0}+$aLen{0} // move up to the next match
End while
