   I recently changed my Permalinks from:

   http://www.example.com/blog/2011/01/01/slug-goes-here (where "2011/01/01" can be any digit)

   to

   http://www.example.com/blog/slug-goes-here

   When I use Urban Giraffe's 301 direction I've tried to use the following regular expression to remove the date

   /blog/(d*)/(d*)/(d*)/(.*) => /blog/$4

   I do not get my desired markup. In fact, it doesn't do a redirect at all. Am I missing something? Or am I supposed to make multiple redirects? Because if this is the case that didn't help either.

   Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!

   Interesting... the Urban Giraffe page seems to indicate that your regex is correct but if I were writing that regex under 'normal' string parsing circumstances I'd do this /blog/([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/([0-9]*)/(.*) => /blog/$4 instead.

   Wow. You are too awesome! I didn't think a normal regex parse would work. It works great!

   I can't thank you enough.

   Can you see what is wrong with mine?

   From:

   /profile.aspx?mid=555

   To:

   /member-page/

   I am using:

   /profile.aspx?mid=([0-9]*) => /member-page/
