Question

Here’s what I need-

1. RegEx to match a url pattern and rewrite it to something else
2. 301 redirect old pattern to new pattern

Here’s what I have-

I have a url pattern that currently looks like this–

http://www.foo.com/press/index.php/2009/4-reasons-to-buy-now/

I want to create a pattern match on the url ‘http://www.foo.com/press/index.php/‘ and rewrite to remove the ‘/index.php’ and the new url would be–

http://www.foo.com/press/2009/4-reasons-to-buy-now/

But I want that as a pattern match on the redirect and rewrite so other urls will also be stripped of the ‘/index.php’ which will always fall after the http://www.foo.com/press/

Thanks for your help in advance!
