If you using 2.0 or 1.0 + extensions then tokenize on /

If you stuck with 1.0 on its own, then you'll need to recursively
process the string using a named template.

Or if possible alter your input XML to be elements rather than... they
look like XPaths?

<connection>
  <every123>
    <event123>
....
