I am trying to rewrite an url with mod_rewrite.
Problem is the url to be rewritten contans a literal + (plus) sign, and that’s also the delimiter for the vars I need to get from the url…

Current url’s:
http://www.domain.com/page/756/no/Plumbers+London/

I want the part “Plumbers+London” to be taken and rewritten as:

New url’s:
domain.com/pages/Plumbers/London/

Tried this but it doesn’t work:

RewriteRule page/(.)/no/(.)\+(.*)/ /pages/$2/$3/ [R=301,L]

Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

    I would change the delimiter.

    Ah simple mistake.

    The dot (.) matches the full URI by itself, or it matches any single character.
    Try changing it to:

    RewriteRule page/(.*)/no/(.*)\+(.*)/ /pages/$2/$3 [R=301,L]

    (My regex is a bit rusty, but I believe that will do the trick.)
    Perhaps use a non-greedy operator: (.*?)
