   Hi All,

   I successfully migrated from typepad to wordpress, right now I am in process cleaning up some broken links.

   I put bunch of expressions together some work and some do not, I hope someone can take a look and see if I did anything wrong.

   For example:

   /.m/(.*) => /$1 works but when I try to do the following

   /(d*)/(d*)/(.*)/(.*)/atom.xml =>http://ismashphone.com/comments/feed/
   or
   /(d*)/(d*)/(.*)/(.*)/atom.xml =>/$1/$2/$3.html/comments/feed/

   does not work, I am trying to match the following

   ​/2008​/08​/british​/comments​/rss.xml => ​/2008​/08​/british.html​/comments​/feed/

   same problem with
   /(d*)/(d*)/index.html => /$1/$2/
   trying to match
   /2011/07/index.html => /2011/07/

   Thanks in advance

   (d*) is not a valid regular expression. I think you mean (\d*)

   thanks john.

   (\d*) did the trick.

   make sure to fix that code on your main page

   you used it as example

   See code from your site
   < blockquote>
   /(d*)/(d*)/(.*)
   This pattern tells the plugin that you want to match a URL that looks like:

   /2007/05/some-url/
   </ blockquote>

   Odd, I don't know how the back slashes disappeared. Thanks for pointing it out
