Like @Ayn wrote, use an eval expresion in your data model. Look at the docs for more details http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/Knowledge/Definedatamodelattributes

Use an eval expression. Something like this should do it.

replace(yourfield,"([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)","*/\2/*/\4")

To make this work via "add eval", you'd need to create a new field with a different name in the data model and hide the old field. The display name can be whatever you'd like.

Another option is to do that eval in a root search -> Add object -> Root search.
