Question

In my appication i used to URL Rewrite using Intelligencia.
My URL Pattern is

<rewrite url="~/([A-Za-z0-9-_ ]+)$" to="~/xxxxxx.aspx?id=$1"/>

Now i want if the URL doesn’t contain iphonestatelist,iphonepropertytype then only it should redirect.

I have used this below code but it does not working.

<rewrite url="~/(^((?!\b(iphonestatelist|iphonepropertytype)\b).)*[A-Za-z0-9-_ ]+)$" to="~/xxxxxx.aspx?id=$1"/>

Eg:
The below URL dont want to Rewrite

http://www.xxxx.com/abc/sef/iphonestatelist

The right URL to Rewrite

http://www.xxxx.com/FX1234

Answer 1

Try

<rewrite
   url="^(?!.*?\b(?:iphonestatelist|iphonepropertytype)\b)~/([A-Za-z0-9-_ ]+)$" 
   to="~/xxxxxx.aspx?id=$1"
/>

Generally: To check if a string contains (or does not contain) a certain sub-string, use a look-ahead (or negative look-ahead, respectively) like this:

^(?=.*?pattern-reqired)pattern-you-look-for
^(?!.*?pattern-disallowed)pattern-you-look-for

These patterns can also be chained

^(?!.*?not-this)(?!.*?not-that)pattern-you-look-for
