Regexps are bad if you absolutely don't need them. They are very resource intensive and in most cases, there are better alternatives. If you want to extract a field from a string separated by delimiters, you can use the iRule getfield command.

set val [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 2]This command extracts the specified field from the URI which is delimited by slashes "/". The first field would be the value before the first delimeter.

Hope this helps...
