url rewriting using .htaccess?

Question

I am using codeigniter. There is a url patern: localhost/mysite/application/assets/projects/projectname

The projectname part is dynamic. Now I want to rewrite that url to: localhost/mysite/projectname

Is it possible using .htaccess ? If it is what will be the code.

Answer 1

Try this .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|indexcp\.php?|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_/.-]+)$ index.php?$1 

RewriteRule ^(CSI) index.php?/CSI
AddType text/x-component .htc

EDIT

Once try this way

RewriteRule ^(/application/assets/projects)$ http://localhost/mysite/$1 [R,NC,L]
