Re: More rewrite rule fun
Mark, If your regex ^([^/]*)/parts(/)?$ captures anything after the parts/, you have a bad regex engine. You probably want something like this: ^.*/parts/([\w/]+)$ Using the same replace pattern, you will end up with /controllerScript.cfm?prodtype=productdisplayaction=displayProductCategoriesmodel=subcategory1/subcategory2/subcat3 Not sure if that's what you're going for, but a bad response is better than no response from the list ;) nathan strutz [http://www.dopefly.com/] [http://hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 7:23 AM, Mark A.

Re: More rewrite rule fun
The \w typically means match any word. I think it's allowed in mod_rewrite rules. So this rule says look for /part/ and any word ending in / and find 1 or more of those words ending in / Nate, is that right?

Re: More rewrite rule fun
Will, that's right. The \w switch is roughly equivalent to [A-Za-z0-9_], aka, letters, numbers and underscores. I put \w/ in there to capture the \w words and / forward slashes. This regex just captures any words slashes after /parts/, which is pretty good because it makes the ending slash optional. If you have other characters in your subcategories (like dashes), you can just add those to the [\w/] char group. You could get fancier, and capture the subcategories individually, but it gets trickier, and making that replacement in CF is so much easier. nathan strutz [http://www.dopefly.com/] [http://hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 8:10 AM, Wil Genovese jugg...@trunkful.com wrote: The \w typically means match any word.
