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

x=str.split(' "')
[i.replace('"','') for i in x]
['(\\HasNoChildren \\Junk)', '/', '[Gmail]/&V4NXPpCuTvY-']

x.strip(" ") will create four parts.

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


is there more simple to do that ?

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-']
