Manipulate a string in groovy script

[Robert_d_Hoedt]

Hi,

For my Integration Suite scenario i must manipulate a string.

My input is something like: "URL.something.com/string1/string2".

The URL.something might change over time (and can be longer or shorter) and the string1/string2 can also change

The only part i can be sure of is ".com/"

What i need is a Groovy script that will take URL.something.com and replace string1/string2 with something like /mystring/ourstring.

Because of the flexible length of URL.something it is not possible to replace after a fixed length. And i can also not replace on the basis of string1/string2 because that can also change.

So it needs to be some instruction like: remove everything that comes after ".com/" and then add /mystring/ourstring.

Hopefully someone can help me out.

Hi all,

So i found something that will work independent of the length of the string

(so it will work for "https://shorturl.com/stringA" and for https://veryverylongurl.com/string A)

First action is to determine what the index of the 3rd "/" is.

Second action is take substring from 0 to index

Third action is to add customstring as a path.

String ServerURL;

static int ordinalIndexOf(String str, String substr, int n) {

int pos = str.indexOf(substr);

while (--n > 0 && pos != -1)

pos = str.indexOf(substr, pos + 1);

return pos;

}

index = ordinalIndexOf(ServerURL,'/',3);

ServerURL = (ServerURL.substring(0,index)+"/addcustomstringasapath");
