I'm assuming that your string is always a URL, if so the following should work:

 

def urlFromResponse = context.expand( '${#TestSuite#url_link}')
def thirdSlashIndex = urlFromResponse.indexOf('/', 9)
def partialString = urlFromResponse.substring(thirdSlashIndex)

 

The indexOf looks for the first occurance a slash, from character 9 of your string, i.e. after the "https://".
