Hi Everyone:

I'd like to extract everything after the third "/" below (starting from the left) in the url field below:

url=http://4.3.3.4/pld_accepted_business "

Note: http://4.3.3.4/  will be constant. The latter may change between pld_accepted_business  or pld_accepted_non_business"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
