Question

Here is what I need to do:
In my CodeIgniter application, I have a folder named “modules”, and each module contains (among others) a folder named assets, which contains all the resources that need to be available from the browser.

The file structure is in this format:

modules
 MyModule
  assets
  views
  etc...

The MyModule folder is dynamic, so I need to add a rule that does not rewrite the paths like

/modules/ANY MATCH/assets

but I can’t figure out the proper Regular Expression…

My current pattern is the following:

^(index\.php|robots\.txt|libs|themes|app/modules/^.$/assets|sitemap.xml)

but the ^.$ obviously doesn’t work… I’m a complete RegEx noob :/

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Answer 1

I think you want

^(index\.php|robots\.txt|libs|themes|app/modules/.*/assets|sitemap\.xml)

or better, if ANY MATCH is always a single folder only:

^(index\.php|robots\.txt|libs|themes|app/modules/[^/]*/assets|sitemap\.xml)
