URL re-write syntax - mod-rewrite

I have a URL:
"http://www.lootza.com/Model/Public/BuyNow/buynow.php?str=NDA="
I want to re-write this url as below:
"http://www.lootza.com/buynow/NDA="
I tried to do this by writing this below code in .htaccess but not getting any luck.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /Model/Public/Home/
RewriteRule ^buynow/([0-9]+)/?$ Model/Public/BuyNow/buynow.php?str=$1
Please give me write syntax.
Regards

That seems correct assuming NDA= is an numeric string.

Redirect not working for matching a pattern in my url

I am trying to redirect a pattern of urls
http://style.com/style-blog/entry/what-im-looking-for-in-my-next-15-inch-laptop
to
http://style.com/blog/entry/what-im-looking-for-in-my-next-15-inch-laptop
I have tried to match the "style-blog" here
^style-blog/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ or ^style-blog/$
I needed to the first version to get ANY remaining part of the url to append to the new url here
RewriteRule ^style-blog/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ http://style.com/you-blog/$1 [NC,L]
Thanks for pointers on what I am doing wrong.
I think you may just be missing a /:
RewriteRule ^/style-(blog/[A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ http://style-review.com/$2
Using wildcard:
RewriteRule ^/style-(blog/.*)$ http://style-review.com/$2
Do you even need the full URL?
RewriteRule ^/style-(blog/.*)$ /$2
Are the ^ and $ required? Wouldn't just this work?
RewriteRule style-blog/ blog/
RewriteRule ^style-blog/(.*)/(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/you-blog/$1/$2 [R=301,L]
This appears to be working but thanks to you guys you got me on the right track and probably you didn't have enough information to solve it. Its not fully tested yet and might not cope with any extra 'folders' (bits between slashes)

Rewrite Query String with .htaccess

I'm trying to do a very simple rewrite of a query string
http://www.example.com/library.php?q=abscessed-tooth
to
http://www.example.com/library/abscessed-tooth
This is the code that I've written in my .htaccess file and it is doing nothing
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/library/?([^/]*)/?\/http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]
Maybe likely .htaccess files are not considered in your environment. If in doubt turn on RewriteLogging as it is explained in the excellent documentation of the rewriting module.
Oh, and check the error log, you have a syntax error in the RewriteRule anyway: RewriteRule takes 2 arguments plus flags, your rule has only a single argument:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^library/([^/]*) http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]
You need dollar sign in the end of "left" part not question mark:
^/library/([^/]*)/$ http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]
Also do you need the question mark between / and ( ? It doesn't look like lookahead or lookbehind?
Try without wrapping slashes as well
^library/([^/]*)$ http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]

mod_rewrite for pretty url with uriencoded query strings

ok, so I've tried many things I've found on SO and elsewhere, but I just can't get it to work, always receiving a 404 error code.
I'd like to enter this url:
memorizeit.com/pics/220.0.8251.20120905002352.7982368227/Jameson+tested+the+MemorizeIt%21+Android+app%3A+With+Facebook+%26+Twitter.+Getting+grass+stains.
and have it invisibly convert to:
memorizeit.com/pics/index.php?pic=220.0.8251.20120905002352.7982368227&title=Jameson+tested+the+MemorizeIt%21+Android+app%3A+With+Facebook+%26+Twitter
The index.php page is looking for:
$pic = ($_GET["pic"]);
$title = ($_GET["title"]);
In my .htaccess file in the /pics directory I've got the following:
RewriteEngine on
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"
RewriteRule ^pics/([^\/]*)/([^\/]*)/([^\/]*)$ /pics/index.php?pic=$1&title=$2&extra=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^pics/(.+)/(.+)$ /pics/index.php?pic=$1&title=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^pics/([^\/]*)$ /pics/index.php?pic=$1 [L,QSA]
I've tried it without the QSA, I've tried it with either .+ (anything) and [^/]* (anything except /) I left both in so you can see how I've put them there (I think!). I do plan on making the $1 allowed to only include numbers and periods, but I'd just like to get it to work being wide open first.
I can't figure out why it isn't working. In my base url .htaccess file I have:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
And it always redirects to https so I know the .htaccess files are being read. I don't know what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Turns out that because pics/ is a real directory the rewrite was trying harder to get there than to just go ahead and rewrite it. So I changed the pics/ to p/ in the matching statement and moved the rules to the base .htaccess file and it works as expected.
Wow that took a long painful time... Hope it saves someone else some time.

replace character in rewrite rule

Here are my current rules:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^to=(one|seventeen|thirty\+four)
RewriteRule ^/folder/page.php$ http://www.site.com/folder/category/%1? [L]
RewriteRule ^folder/category/(.+)\+(.+)$ http://www.site.com/folder/category/$1-$2 [L]
The first rule works fine, it redirects perfectly if the word is in the query string, but I can't get thirty+four to become thirty-four when redirected.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For starters, RewriteRule ^/folder/page.php$ will never match anything. The URI's get the prefix (the leading slash) removed if the rules are in an .htaccess file instead of server config.
Secondly, since you've included http://www.site.com/ in your targets, that means the browser will get redirected instead of internally rewritten. You need to remove http://www.site.com/ from your first rule so that the second one can be applied.
Here's what should work:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^to=(one|seventeen|thirty\+four)
RewriteRule ^folder/page.php$ folder/category/%1 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^folder/category/(.+)\+(.+)$ folder/category/$1-$2 [NC,QSA,L]
And now three hints:
1)
Please make sure you've read everything here before asking:
Here's the wiki of serverfault.com
The howto's htaccess official guide
The official mod_rewrite guide
2)
Please try to use the RewriteLog directive: it helps you to track down problems:
# Trace:
# (!) file gets big quickly, remove in prod environments:
RewriteLog "/web/logs/mywebsite.rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteEngine On
3)
My favorite tool to check for regexp:
http://www.quanetic.com/Regex (don't forget to choose ereg(POSIX) instead of preg(PCRE)!)
You use this tool when you want to check the URL and see if they're valid or not.

to write htaccess code for friendly url

I need a help, does anyone can tell me how to change a url
"http://www.domain.com/search.php?key=+Ebooks&type=title&Submit=Search"
to
"http://www.domain.com/keyword- keyword- keyword.html".
i have written following htaccess code but its not working.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule search-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.html search.php?key=$1&type=$2&page=$3
</IfModule>
What exactly does not work? Is anything happening?
I am not 100% sure but I think you have to do it this way:
search-(.*?)-(.*?)-(.*?)\.html search.php?key=$1&type=$2&page=$3
Notice the ? behind the asterisks. It indicates to match a string as early as possible.
Try this:
RewriteRule search-([^-]*)-([^-]*)-([^-]*)\.html search.php?key=$1&type=$2&page=$3
