Redirect using regular expressions

Hi all, Just looking for some feedback on my iRule, it is working but would like to hear if it looks ok like this or if it can be written in a better/easier way using coding I am not aware of....

Hi Jeroen,

 

 

I think that's about as good as you can get it. You could potentially use a few string commands to find the start of /Beer/now.html in /find/some/*_Server1_*/Beer/now.html, but I think it would be overly complicated.

 

 

If you do stick with the regex, you could update the regex to /find/some/.*_[Ss]erver1_.*?/ as .*?/ will match anything up to the first /.

 

 

Also, you could get rid of the intermediate variable:

 

 

HTTP::redirect "http://www.heineken.nl/want/[regsub {/find/some/.*_[Ss]erver1_.*?/} $uri ""]"
