Using preg_match on the URL to move from a folder was created by cyberwizzard
I used to have my website at mydomain.com/site/ and I switched over to a new installation in the root of the domain. So mydomain.com/site/my-blog will become mydomain.com/my-blog.

I tried 'Request Only' with '^/site/.*$' and without it as 'mydomain.com/site/.*' and both seem to trigger ReDJ.

However, I am stuck on the rewriting part: I set 'To URL' as 'http://{siteurl}/{preg_match 1}/\/site\/(.*)/{/preg_match}'
Going to mydomain.com/site/my-blog results in a 404 and ends up at 'mydomain.com/{preg_match 1}/\/site\/(.*)/{/preg_match}'

I also tried using the placeholders by defining one as:
'part={preg_match 1}/\/site\/(.*)/{/preg_match}' and setting the 'To URL' field as 'http://{siteurl}/{part}'. I then end up at 'mydomain.com/{part}' which of course is another 404 error...

Am I doing something wrong?

I found someone with a similar problem and your solution to use 'pathltrim'. Am I missing the location of online documentation or is this not available?

The solution was:
From URL: ^/site/
To URL: http://{siteurl}/{pathltrim /site/}{queryfull}
Request only: true (must be checked)

I am still curious why the regular expression is not evaluated though...

Hi,
the reason is preg_match is a macro available only in the Enterprise version, while you are using the Community version. You can find a quick gude in the download section, and under "Documentation" in the next future.

Kind regards,
Luigi

That explains a lot.

I saw under the feature comparison chart that "Use of regular expressions to specify matching source URLs" was also for the Community Edition and figured this would mean preg_match would work...

Thanks for the clarification.

Is correct, but {preg_match} is not part of regular expressions (related to source URLs), but of macros (build of destination URLs):
Use of macros to specify destination URL (dynamic destination URLs)

And, as reported, there are 28 macros available in the Community and 35 macros in the Enterprise.

Kind regards,
Luigi
