NimbostratusRedirect to new uri with part of original uri
I am trying to redirect a url by using a portion of old a new.
original request
http://www.mysite.com/udpate/blahblah
redirected to
http://www.mysite.com/profile/beta/...d=blahblah
i need to look for the /update/ (from the original request) and take everything after the update/blahblah (so the blahblah) and tack it on to the end of http://www.mysite.com/profile/beta/page.aspx?id=
I am struggling to get this done. Any help would be appreciated.

Hii Mike,
You can use 'string range' to parse the original URI. I've added URI encoding of the URI to ensure there aren't any encoding errors in the redirect. If that's not what you want, you can remove that portion.
TCL string range man page
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/string.htmM40when HTTP_REQUEST { Check if URI starts with /update if {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/update"}{ Redirect the request HTTP::redirect "http://www.mysite.com/profile/beta/page.aspx?id=[URI::encode [string range [HTTP::uri] 7 end]]" log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Redirecting [HTTP::uri]\ to http://www.mysite.com/profile/beta/page.aspx?id=[URI::encode [string range [HTTP::uri] 7 end]]" } }

Mike_WethingtonThank you for the respone. So if i understand correctly the statement [HTTP::uri] 7 end]] will only take what appears after the /update/ correct?- hoolioExactly:
% string range "/update/1234" 7 end
/1234
