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://".

The URI class (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/URI.html) can also be a more Java API centric option:

 

def uri =  new URI('https://metalTin.abcd.com/dbname/dbname_WebUI/views/home/knownpage.aspx?uniquecode=coNews&area=home&view=coNews')
log.info uri.path
log.info uri.query
log.info uri.path+"?"+uri.query
