HTTP::redirect Help

I am looking for some help to create an iRule that will look for a variable that follows "/open/" in the URI and then reuses that variable in the redirect.

 

 

Basically when a user hits the following link:

 

http://www.abc.com/open/42579900

 

 

They will be redirected to the following link:

 

http://www.xyz.com/MigrationID.aspx?migrationID=42579900

 

 

Any ideas?

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

     

    if { [http::path] contains "/open/" } {

     

    http::redirect location http://www.xyz.com/MigrationID.aspx?migrationID=42579900

     

    }

     

    }

    Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear with my original post. The number won't be the same every time and since 42579900 is the variable it needs to be referenced as a variable in the redirect, not a static number. Does that make sense?

    I think this might work: 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
set id [findstr HTTP::path "/open/" 0 8]
if { $id != ""  } {
HTTP::respond 301 location http://www.xyz.com/MigrationID.aspx?migrationID=$id
}
}

    Using the set id [findstr [HTTP::path] "/open/" 6 end] and then referencing $id in the redirect worked perfectly! Thank you both for your help - much appreciated!
