Answer 1

something like:

RewriteRule ^/welcome.asp(.+)$ /mynewpage.hcx$1 [RP]

Will match any url starting with /welcome.asp, and $1 will contain the rest of the url.

Not sure about the [] part, but RP is permanent redirect (aka, 301)

EDIT: You could try this:

RewriteRule ^/welcome.asp(. startat=/mypage.asp. )$ /mynewpage.hcx$1 [RP]

.* <- 0 or more chars .+ <- 1 or more chars

so basically it translates to: start with /welcome.asp, 0 or more chars followed by "startat=/mypage.asp", followed by 0 or more chars until end of url.

Redirect to mynewpage.hcx followed by any content from the first paranthesis.
