Hi,
I'm switching E-commerce software and the new cart uses a similar URL compared to the old cart minus one bit of information.

I'd like to convert any inbound request for the old URL to the new URL without having to put a redirect for each possible URL(Over 700) products.

The old url looks like this.

http://www.domain.com/product-name-p-529.html

the -p-529 will vary since that's the product #, The new site doesn't need that information.

the new url looks like this.

http://www.domain.com/product-name.html

Basically what I need is a way to strip the -p-529 from the any incoming url and redirect to the new url.

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*product-name(.*)$
RewriteRule .* product-name.html

That should work.

Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. I didn't leave enough details. The product name vary also.

so for example

widget-blue-p-529.html
wonder-bar-large-p-123.html
blow-up-doll-p-691.html

would have to be stipped of the -p-###.html so they look like this.

widget-blue.html
wonder-bar-large.html
blow-up-doll.html

I'd like to have one rule that just takes any inbound request with the -p-###.html and just strip's the product ID (-p-###.html) instead of having to create a rule for each products URL.

You can do that as a variant of what I gave you. Study the rules for regular expression processing in RewriteCond and RewriteRule.
