ksh :: want to cut the strings
I have contents like

423562143124/53125351276
sdgas/347236
sjhdk;ls'ald/y62783612763

I need a command that would make the string before / and after / as separate output as (A should contain 423562143124 )and B should
contain 53125351276).

I tried but in vain.

Please help.

423562143124/53125351276 is already stored in a variable '$tea'

May i know that please.
