Hi,
I'm a newbie to mod rewrite and altough I've been searching the web all day for simple instructins how to implement a URL manipulation all the resources I have found are just too technical for me to comprehend. Can you guys help?
I want to change pages similar to;
www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/file.cgi?Wish=FFFF0050008000006221197B
to a search enfine friendly url.
Does anyone know of a good resource that can teach me how to do this using mod rewrite?
Many thanks guys, appreciate it.

Lee,
Have you had any luck on this yet? Is your Webserver IIS or Apache?
People don't talk about it much, but all the Mod_Rewrite tricks are based on a type of Search & Replace called "Regular Expression Matching", or RegExp. Once your software to do a mod_rewrite is installed (comes with Apache http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html and can be found free for IIS), it's really a matter of setting up one of these search & replace commands. For example, you would match on...
www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/file.cgi?Wish=FFFF0050008000006221197B
With this pattern...
RewriteRule (.*)/cgi-bin/file.cgi?Wish=(.*) /wish/.html
This takes the whole cgi-bin part of the URL, and makes it look like it's in a directory named wish, with a file with the same name as the parameter.
www.mydomain.com/wish/FFFF0050008000006221197B.html
Exactly WHERE you put this rule, and maybe some of the syntax varies based on the mod_rewrite tool.
