regex - 301 Redirect/Rewrites with Patterns -

i know using power of regex, can reduce 301's few lines. however, not have brain power it.

basically our links went from:

http://www.site.com/collection/womens-active (this can have ?brand=123 queries attached end)

to:

"womens-" changed part.

a simple 301 works perfectly, queries, there 100 lines in htaccess.

with regex, can reduce few lines?

use redirectmatch instead:

redirectmatch 301 ^/collection/([^/-]+)-active/(.*)$ /collection/active/$2

assuming "is changed part", mean there says "womens-".

edit: since it's other way around, swap regex grouping , "womens-":

redirectmatch 301 ^/collection/womens-([^/-]+)/(.*)$ /collection/$1/$2
