Hello!

When users click this URL -> http://www.domain.com/support/faq/7/

I need to rewrite that so the URL is -> http://www.domain.com/support/faq/

Bonus question, in the existing URL, since the '7' is a folder and there a bunch more, can I have it so that when someone hits any folder in http://www.domain.com/support/faq/<whatever folder>, that it always go to http://www.domain.com/support/faq/

Here is what I have:
RewriteRule ^/support\/faq\/7/ support/faq/ [L]

Aside from the syntax help, does the .htaccess file need to be in the web root directory *AND* in the 'support' folder as well? Or can I just have it in the web root directory?

I poked around the forum and found... SPAM. But seriously folks, I found someone that had a similar situation so I was able to cater the solution to my needs.

Here is what I wound up with:

RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch 301 ^/support/faq/2/ /support/faq/

Boy, even after I get lucky figuring something out, I still have some sort of mental block whenever I had to do any URL redirecting. For some reason its just not intuitive to me. Hopefully one day it will sink in because my job requires it from time to time.

If I change it around a little:

RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch 301 ^/support/faq/(.*)/ /support/faq/

The (.*) will make so any of these URLs:

http://www.domain.com/support/faq/1/
http://www.domain.com/support/faq/2/
http://www.domain.com/support/faq/3/
http://www.domain.com/support/faq/4/
http://www.domain.com/support/faq/5/

All direct back to http://www.domain.com/support/faq/

Cool!
