I am redesigning my website and in the process restructuring some of the linking structure.

To do the permanent redirects I am using the following code (.htaccess)

RedirectMatch permanent old-link($|\.html) http://thedomain.com/new-link.url

I am using a CMS and changing the link for a category changes the path of the url like so:

thedomain.com/old-category-link/old-article-url.html

to 

thedomain.com/new-category-link/old-article-url.html

How should I code (.htaccess) the redirect of any URL that has 

thedomain.com/old-category-link

(i.e 

thedomain.com/old-category-link/old-article.html
thedomain.com/old-category-link/old-article-2.html
thedomain.com/old-category-link/old-article-999.html

)

to 

thedomain.com/new-category-link/any-articles-old-url.html

Thank you

    Not exactly sure what you are asking to be redirected to, but is it something like this?

    RedirectMatch permanent old-category-link(.*) http://thedomain.com/new-category-link$1

    This will make is so if someone requests:

    1. http://thedomain.com/old-category-link they will get redirected to http://thedomain.com/new-category-link
    2. http://thedomain.com/old-category-link/ they will get redirected to http://thedomain.com/new-category-link/
    3. http://thedomain.com/old-category-link/article1.html they will get redirected to http://thedomain.com/new-category-link/article1.html
    4. http://thedomain.com/old-category-link/article50.html they will get redirected to http://thedomain.com/new-category-link/article50.html
