You want flatten, I think.
julia> df=DataFrame(name=["aaa","bbbb","ccc"],
frqty=["apple\\4\\melon\\5","plume\\12","graphes\\7\\mango\\9\\persic\\11"])
3×2 DataFrame

julia> df.x = split.(df.frqty, "\\")
3-element Array{Array{SubString{String},1},1}:
["apple", "4", "melon", "5"]
["plume", "12"]
["graphes", "7", "mango", "9", "persic", "11"]
