Question

I’m trying to create a regex that takes a filename like:

/cloud-support/filename.html#pagesection

and redirects it to:

/cloud-platform/filename#pagesection

Could anyone advise how to do this?

Currently I’ve got part-way there, with:

"^/cloud-support/(.*)$" => "/cloud-platform/$1",

which redirects the directory okay – but still has a superfluous .html.

Could I just match for a literal .html with optional #? How would I do that?

Thanks.

Maybe something like this:

"^/cloud-support/(.*?)(\.html)?(#.+)$" => "/cloud-platform/$1$3"

where the first group is a non-greedy match (.*?)
