Can anyone please suggest to me how I can break this event...

PATH="/user/hive/datastore/xyz.db/file_name1"
PATH="/user/hive/datastore/xyz.db/file_name2"
PATH="/user/hive/datastore/xyz.db/file_name3"

Into this required output:

required output 
file_name1
file_name2
file_name3

Thanks in advance

  | makeresults count=1
    | eval  PATH="\"/user/hive/datastore/xyz.db/file_name1\";\"/user/hive/datastore/xyz.db/file_name2\";\"/user/hive/datastore/xyz.db/file_name3\""
    | makemv PATH delim=";"
    | mvexpand PATH
    | table PATH
    | rename COMMENT as "above generates data, below is your solution"
    | rex field=PATH "\"\/(?<dir_1>[^\/]+)\/(?<dir_2>[^\/]+)\/(?<dir_3>[^\/]+)\/(?<dir_4>[^\/]+)\/(?<file_name>[^\"]+)"
