Hi,
i am trying to get this rewrite using a text file to work but it seems not to pick up the text or read it the way i want.
here is what is happening i want to merge 2 domains .com and .net into one vhost file and one website. but the .net has alot of redirects which i want to put in a txt file bacuse there are over 200 line of redirects static.also exclude the robots.txt file. and i want the rule to look for any string be it after the first slash of with the url like so

www.site.net/wsd/html/aboutus.html
or
www.site.net/bbb/wsd/html/aboutus.html

should use the map text file and rewrite.

txt file example
wsd/html/aboutus.html /aboutus
wsd/html/aboutus.htm /aboutus
wsd/html/aboutus.php /aboutus

RewriteMap links txt:/var/www/bin/rewritemap1.txt
RewriteCond $1 !robot.txt$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) ${links:$1|http://www.site.com/} [R=301,L]

i have googled and tried so many regex none seem to work.
thanks

I don't see anything wrong with your example. Can you see if there
are any entries in your apache error log file?
