I'm very confused by the phrase "string alienation". You mention two problems: (1) remove " from a string sub('"', '', vector.of.strings) will do that. See ?grep for details. (2) split a string at occurrences of / strsplit(vector.of.strings, "/") will do that. It gives you a list of vectors of strings. See ?strsplit for details.
