simple modrewrite question

changing url path

[johnquest]

I need help in changing part of a URL with another word. What I have is www.mysite.com/foo/number and what I'd like is something like www.mysite.com/bar/number. Everything in the URL is the same except for changing "foo" to "bar" Can someone help me out?

Thanks

i assume by "number" you mean digits.
you might try something like this:
RewriteCond %{ENV:myURI} ^(www\.mysite\.com/)foo(/[1-9]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . - [E=qRed:yes,E=myURI:%1bar%2]

I'd suggest:

RewriteRule ^foo/([0-9]+)$ http://www.example.com/bar/$1 [R=301,L]

If you request example.com/foo/411 with that code in place, your browser will be redirected to example.com/bar/411

We're assuming you've got the RewriteEngine enabled here.
