Want to rewrite part of host

Hi guys, I'm still new to iRules, I wonder that if it is possible that an iRule can rewrite part of the host instead of all of it.   I mean like, if a client request a host like "123.aaa.com/888/"...

    If string position is known then you can use 

    getfield
    function to grep value like below. 

    set hostname [getfield [HTTP::host] "." 1]   If the URL is xxx.aaa.bbb.com, then getfield command will grep value of 1st position xxx
set hostname1 [getfield [HTTP::host] "." 2]   If the URL is xxx.aaa.bbb.com, then getfield command will grep value of 2nd position aaa

    Refer below link. Hope it will be helpful.

That's not my purpose, by xxx I mean a dynamic string, it could be xxx, 123, aaa or whatever. Thanks anyway.
