Need to use last 2 of domain name as URI Variable.

So I have a customer that has 15 or so different state based domains (think something like "mydomainFL.com", "mydomainTN.com", etc...). They have a requirement that incorporates the last two or three letters in their domain name as a portion of the redirected URI path. For example, if the user goes to the redirected URL/URI will be something like ";.

 

My question is, how, in an irule, can I have it pull the last two or three, and use those in the URI? Is that possible?

 

Thanks.

    try to add like this irule: 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/newuser" } {
        set pos [expr {[string length [HTTP::host]] - 6}] 
        set url "[substr [HTTP::host] 0 pos].com/newuser/[substr [HTTP::host] pos 2]/start" 
    }
}

    I think I figured out the answer to this. I can set a variable to be the length of the URL up to where I want it to define, then end it 4 before the end of the URL... So even if it is "mydomainCRAZY.com" I would do something like:

    set state [string range [HTTP::host] 8 end-4]

    That will define "CRAZY" as the ${state} variable, and I can insert that into the URI.

    Does that sound right?
