Make life easy for yourself. The "/" in the search/replace command is just a default. How about this:

%s#/Top/Sub/Sub1#ABC#g
or
%s+/Top/Sub/Sub1+ABC+g
or
%s_/Top/Sub/Sub1_ABC_g

...etc... You get the idea. If you know you've got a lot of /'s, try to avoid all those \/'s. It's ugly and error-prone.
