Facing Issue with rewrite rule asked by our client

Question

Hello,Our client has asked us to make a rewrite rule of this style RewriteRule ^ /text/text/text/text-text-text-text-i%21$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/text [L,R=301] However i can not seem to get it to work, i am guessing it is because the special character, but i am not finding a solution.I have already tried adding NE in the rules. Any insight i can receive on this? I have other similar requests that i do not know how to approach either.Like this one RewriteRule ^ /text/text/text/%20?date=20190808$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/text [L,R=301] Thanks in Advance for any help providedBest Regards.

It would have been helpful if you provided the exact use case. But with the two examples which you have provided, it could be done something like RewriteRule ^/text/(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/text [L,R=301]

Hi @danielma16
If you are looking for anything generic then you may need to something like below

# Generalized rewrite rule for repeated word pattern

RewriteRule ^(.+)/\1/\1/\1-\1-\1-\1-i%21$ /$1 [R=301,L]
