I have no control on the body of text; it could have any special characters or both slashes \ /.

The forward slash is no problem, but the backslash has a defined meaning.  Can you get the party that is responsible for creating the text to either not use the backslash or to always double it?  If you can't get them to do that, you will probably have to use another tool instead of Applescript.
