Lots of ways to solve this. Positive lookbehind is worth exploring!

 | eval url="https://hostname/bs/cf/webservice/WordtoExtract" 
 | rex field=url "(?<=\/)(?<theWord>\w+)$"

Hi

Try this too

| makeresults 
| eval url="https://hostname/bs/cf/webservice/WordtoExtract" 
| eval temp=split(url,"/") 
| eval output = mvindex(temp,mvcount(temp)-1)

That's enough.
