Using String.split method will surely work as told in other answers here.

Also, StringTokenizer class can be used to to parse the String using / as the delimiter.

import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class Test
{
    public static void main(String []args)
    {
        String s = "prefix/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/..";
        StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(s, "/");
        String dir1 = tokenizer.nextToken();
        String dir2 = tokenizer.nextToken();
        System.out.println("Dir 1  : "+dir1);
        System.out.println("Dir 2 : " + dir2);
    }
}

Gives the output as :

Dir 1  : prefix
Dir 2 : dir1
