Redirect using .htaccess

Hi I’m changing my website from XHTML to Textpattern

I’d like to redirect my old pages to their corresponding new address.

Example

http://www.property-in-the-sun.com/Places%20to%20visit/Pruna/pruna.htm is now http://www.property-in-the-sun.com/Places-To-Visit/pruna

I’ve tried quite a few combinations like below but can’t get any to work. (My brain is now mashed)

Redirect 301 /Places%20to%20visit/Pruna/pruna.htm http://www.property-in-the-sun.com/Places-To-Visit/pruna

Thanks
Geoff

Re: Redirect using .htaccess

Escape the spaces by placing a backslash in front of it:

Redirect 301 /Places\ to\ visit/Pruna/pruna.htm http://www.property-in-the-sun.com/Places-To-Visit/pruna

Re: Redirect using .htaccess

Thanks Ruud

I have quite a few Redirects to set up.

Is it worth/possible to put a conditional statement around all the redirects fro the /Places\ to\ visit/ directory to speed up processing of the .htaccess file?

Thanks
