Perhaps this would work:

^/section/product/p-[0-9]+-[0-9]+/$

Then you just use "/section/product/" as your destination URL.

Here is how that regex works:

• ^ matches the beginning of the string.
• $ matches the end of the string.
• [0-9]+ matches one or more digits.

Sorry, I think my message probably wasn't very clear!

The "section" and "product" parts are variable, not those actual words. So it might be:

/Cats/ginger/p-01-123/
/Cats/black/p-04-342/
/Dogs/white/p-21-334/

exc.

I want to drop the last section and redirect to the first 2 sections (e.g. /cats/ginger/). I suspect this tool won't allow me to do that - maybe I need to do it in IIS?

Not sure about 301 URL Tracker in particular, but in general that is possible using named capture groups. So, the regex would look like this:

^/(?<SECTION>((?!/).)+)/(?<PRODUCT>((?!/).)+)/p-[0-9]+-[0-9]+/$

And the replacement would look like this:

/${SECTION}/${PRODUCT}/

This new regex also makes use of what is called a "negative lookahead". That ensures the "SECTION" and "PRODUCT" groups don't contain a forward slash.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Did you ever get this working, Gordon?

Sorry for the delay ... been on holiday!

I ended up doing it in IIS with Url Rewrite.
