Complicated Regex Statement.

[d22552000]

First off, I cannot find the regex section on this forum.  I know there is one, but I can't find it, so please don't spaz at me.

 

Here is the regex:

^\.exe$

and here is the second:

^\$5\($1|$2)\.($3|$4|???)$

 

Uhmm... I'm kinda new to regex but the first one should select all files in the base dir that has .exe extension right....?  but what does the second do....???

^\.exe$ will only match ".exe" with a possible new line before and after if you're using the /m modifier. The second will give you an error because the first ( is escaped, but the second is not, resulting in unbalanced parentheses. What do you think it matches?

This was in one of my htacess files and I was just like wtf... I didnt think they were valid lol.

 

how would I make it so to redirect:

 

"forumdisplay.xxx?f=61"

to

"/forum/display/F61"

...?
