there are a number of ways. anyway, this is just an example of regsub. 

[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/f5-w-" } {
    HTTP::uri [regsub -nocase {/f5\-w\-[0-9a-f]+\$\$} [HTTP::uri] ""]
  }
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0 port 80
