Geting feet wet with REGEX and url rewriting (maybe a bit 0T)

Hey all, Every now and then I start on using REGEXs and URL rewriting as needed then stop again, this is one of those times :-) I have a simple url rewite that goes like this: RewriteRule ^blog-([0-9]+).html$ index.php?act=blog&id=$1 and I send urls to the page like this: mysite.com/blog/blog-2.html which gets processed like this: index.php?act=blog&id=$1 which works perfectly fine, now i would like to add another parameter so the url looks something like this: mysite.com/blog/blog-2-the_great_escape.html which should be processed like this: index.php?act=blog&id=$1&string=$2 going through the regex tutoral I see I need to use "$2" for the second parameter and "$3" etc if i keep adding parameters but still getting stumped on the first regex part (eg: ^blog-([0-9]+).html$ ) Thanks!
