The problem with that is, I have 40+ rules in place already and the items can be at the end of all of them.
Could I do something like this? ^something/?(item1)?/?(item2)/?(item3)/?(item4)/?(item5)/?(item6)/? Rewrite to: somefile.cfm?items=$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6 Which could turn into any one of: somefile.cfm?items=item1,item2,,,, somefile.cfm?items=item1,,,item4,,item6 somefile.cfm?items=,,,,, Then do another rewrite to remove any multiple commas. Can I rewrite the same URL more than once? So take the result of one rewrite and pass it to another? I'm looking though the docs at the moment.
