IIS Url rewrite with regex redirect to wrong destination

Question

I must do a redirect using a regex...

I must do the following redirects:

www.mysite.com/old-category/old-subcategory           -> www.mysite.com/new-category/new-subcategory
www.mysite.com/old-category/old-subcategory/old-page1 -> www.mysite.com/new-category/new-subcategory/new-page1
www.mysite.com/old-category/old-subcategory/old-page2 -> www.mysite.com/new-category/new-subcategory/new-page2
...
www.mysite.com/old-category/old-subcategory/old-pageN -> www.mysite.com/new-category/new-subcategory/new-pageN

where new-pageN can be a randow word...

Here my rule in the web.config:

<rewrite>
    <rules>
        ...
        <rule name="myCustomRule">
           <match url="^old-category/old-subcategory/(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
           <action type="Redirect" url="new-category/new-subcategory/{R:1}" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>

The problem is that when I write www.mysite.com/old-category/old-subcategory/old-page1 in my browser, It is redirect to www.mysite.com/new-category/new-subcategory/n . It takes just the first letter of the last segment of the old url.

I do not understand what is wrong... everything look like correct to me.. I have also tried with

^old-category/old-subcategory/(.+)
^old-category/old-subcategory/(\w+)
^old-category/old-subcategory/([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)
^old-category/old-subcategory/(\b\w+\b)

Nothing works... What's wrong?

Thank you

Your question is not much clear... By the way

1. Try to escape the "/" <match url="^old-category\\/old-subcategory\\/(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />

2. I think that redirect should be:

    <action type="Redirect" url="/new-category/new-subcategory/{R:1}" />

   or

   <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com/new-category/new-subcategory/{R:1}" />
