Isapi rewrite

[kevin197]

Hi, I am trying to rewrite some urls on a windows server and if I can get my head round a basic one I should be ok writing the other rules I need.

The url I have is:

http://www.mydomain.com/Level1.aspx?Grp1Code=01&Grp1Desc=keyword

The url I am after is:

http://www.mydomain.com/keyword

The code I have so far is:

<rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Rewrite to Level1.aspx">
      <match url="^Level1.aspx?Grp1Code=([0-9]+)Grp1Desc=" />
      <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}" />
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

I don't know what kind of regex interpreter you are using, but the one you have there won't match your sample input data. For starters, question marks are usually special characters, but since this appears to be built for use with URLs, they may not be here. You also don't have anything to match the ampersand.

I'd try something like this

url="^Level1.aspx\?Grp1Code=([0-9]+)&Grp1Desc=([a-zA-z0-9_]+)"

And then the second part (the keyword, as you called it) would be accessible as the second variable returned from the expression. In Perl it would be $2.

Thanks for that, that makes sence.

I'm using the ISAPI_Rewrite on

http://www.isapirewrite.com

from Helicon Tech

So as I see it my code should be:

<rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Rewrite to Level1.aspx">
      <match url="^Level1.aspx\?Grp1Code=([0-9]+)&Grp1Desc=([a-zA-z0-9_]+)" />
      <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:2}" />
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

I think the match is correct now. I'm looking through the docs on the page you linked, but I'm not seeing any examples that match yours exactly, so I don't know about the action tag.
