Facing Issue with rewrite rule asked by our client

[DanielMa16]

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 provided

Best 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]

Hello @arunpatidar 

in this case i could get by with @h_kataria answer, but i would save your advice for another more generalized case i may encounter in the future.

Thank you so much to both of you.

Best Regards.
