Hi,

I wish to make the following URL search engine friendly and cannot get the correct Regex ReWrite rule figured out. I've read everything, trawled google and am more confused now than when i started... can anyone please help:

/Products/index.asp?PMaction=product_view_details&RecordID=24

Thanks in advance to anyone who can stop me pulling anymore hair out...

Hi,

welcome to the forum.

As I understand it Mod Rewrite only works on Apache running under Linux based servers and you're using windows hosting. I'm not sure about this but I don't think there is a mod rewrite solution for ASP unless you install something like this:

Cheers,
Paz.

Hi Paz,

Thanks for the fast reply and thanks for the welcome.
I'm currently using URL Rewrite available from IISMods.com (i should've said that in my first post sorry)
I've got it doing all sorts of other things - redirects etc, but it is just the RegEx syntax that i can't work out for the link mentioned: /Products/index.asp?PMaction=product_view_details&RecordID=24

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks again

Jim

i too have no idea if there is any .htaccess file in asp as we see in php...

But u can search for contributions on this submitted by so many people out there and use them to and learn how it works..

Thanks for that Kate...

I'm not familiar with IISMods... do you have a hppd.ini file to modify in a text editor? If so, what would you like the resultant url to look like?

What you have to understand about Regex (Regular Expressions) is that it's ultimately all about pattern matching. Generally speaking, you can't just say, "Here's a URL - make it SE friendly", as you might end up with something that doesn't help you much for your other URL's.

Your probably best to understand how to build regular expressions first, then tackle it from there. The following URL should help:
