How do I remove specific characters from a string?

For example, I have a string "agreementinquiry-web-2.0.3". My result should only have "agreementinquiry".

If you want to remove it at search time, then you can use sed to help

| rex mode=sed "s/agreementinquiry\S+/agreementinquiry/g"

It follows the format as Replace/<REGEX_TO_CAPTURE>/<REGEX_TO_REPLACE>/global

If you want to remove it at index time, you should use SEDCMD
