Hello,

Is that URI a fixed one with one wildcard piece?

If so, I would do this way:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    # Checks whether the path starts with /text1/text2/text3 and ends with /text4
    if {  [string match -nocase {/text1/text2/text3/*/text4} [HTTP::path]] } {
        # Put /text5/text6/text7, append original URI from 18 char to end (Skip the starts length from /text1/text2/text3)
        HTTP::uri "/text5/text6/text7[string range [HTTP::uri] 18 end]"
        pool pool1
    }
}

Regards

Correct, only the wildcard can vary. It will always come in starting with /text1/text2/text3 which I'll need to change into /text5/text6/text7. The /wildcard/text4 will always end the URI.
