I’m trying to improve the permalink redirects on the vbulletin importer. Vbulletin can have any of several URL formats. My solution is to create generic permalinks which will then be handled by permalink normalizations. Like this: Old URL: http://somesite/forums/f38/slug-blah-blah-blue-11769.html …

I thought that perhaps my problem was that I didn’t need to \ escape the /s in my replacement string, but that doesn’t seem to have solved it either. And I’ve confirmed that the regex works, it’s the replacement that’s broken. If I create a permalink badword-11769 and use this /forums\/f[0-9]+\/.…

I’m good with REs, but that means I know there are a maze of similar looking implementations all with slightly different syntax.

I meant after the replacement string. I have a / at the end of my RE (right?), but not the end of the replacement. [이미지] Mittineague: I can’t help but wonder, do you actually have URLs that have “.html” towards the end, I don’t know. Perhaps not. In other systems I’ve seen various cruft afte…

Thanks, @elijah. Are you saying I’m missing one, or that I’ve got an extra? In either case, it looks OK, right? I added an image of the normalizations since there’s no way to copy them.
