Use a regular expression. Assuming that the URL is 
"http://www.mysite.com/client/abcde012345":
browser.url.match(%r{/client/(.*)})[1]
=> "abcde012345"

 Subject: [wtr-general] Code suggestions on how to get a guid from an href to 
be used to append to other hrefs.
   
The site I am automating creates a unique guid when a new client is created so 
I will see something like http://www.mysite.com/client/abcde012345 where 
'abcde012345 is the unique identifier for that client. I want to get that value 
and use it to append to another link such as 
http://www.mysite.com/client/profile/abcde012345 
I am a newbie to coding so any help or suggestions on good sites to find 
examples is greatly appreciated.--
