Re: regex problem

ufff.. sorry guys, but I have to explain that better. I appreciate your help, maybe I did not give enough info. I am trying to redirect with apache modrewrite. To do this you have to use regex (not if functions:-) My problem is, that there are member accounts which look like that: membername/contact.html and there are partner accounts which look like this: partner/name/contact.html The goal is to redirect only if it is a member account. If I put a (.*)/contact.html it also matches the partner/ I tryed putting a root / infront, but there is not / root for the url from apaches point of view. So I would need a regex which will match the member account, but if the first word is "partner" it should not terminate. This seems to be a tough one!

ah - maybe a chain of rewrites would do? send all matches of /^partner\/(.*)\/contact.html$/ to partner\/\1\/blah send all matches of /^(.*)\/contact.html$/ to NEWLOCATION send all matches of /^partner\/(.*)\/blah$/ to partner\/\1\/contact.html Kae
