Re: Regular expression for htaccess URL redirect

Redirect doesn't work with Regular Expressions. Use RewriteRule.

RewriteRule ^data/january/([a-z0-9]+)\.([a-z]+)$ http://www.example.com/sample [R=301,L,NC]

End anchor the pattern.

Escape the literal period.

Do not escape slashes in htaccess. Escaping slashes is only needed in javascript.

Replace "a-zA-Z" with "a-z" and [NC] flag to parse 33% quicker.

Use example.com for example code.

The * allowed an empty element. Replace with a + sign.

Hi All,

I am trying to redirect all files in a particular directory in my web server.

I am trying regular expressions such as
Redirect /data/january\/([a-zA-Z0-9]*).([a-zA-Z]*) http://www.mysite.com/sample

The expression /([a-zA-Z0-9]*).([a-zA-Z]*) is trying to find expressions such as "dat35262.pdf".

But its not working. Can you help me out?

Thanks in advance

Ashish
