First up it's not usually a good idea to override the builtin name str.

I assume you meant x=str.split(" ") ? Even so I don't see how you can
get four parts so please explain.

No loop needed that I can see.
>>> oldstr='(\\HasNoChildren \\Junk) "/" "[Gmail]/&V4NXPpCuTvY-"';oldstr
'(\\HasNoChildren \\Junk) "/" "[Gmail]/&V4NXPpCuTvY-"'
>>> newstr=oldstr.replace('"', '');newstr
'(\\HasNoChildren \\Junk) / [Gmail]/&V4NXPpCuTvY-'
>>> substrings=newstr.split();substrings
['(\\HasNoChildren', '\\Junk)', '/', '[Gmail]/&V4NXPpCuTvY-']
