301 redirect urls with specific string for .htaccess

Question

I'm new to this coding. I've searched all over for ways to do this but I have not come up with a working solution. I'm not even sure if I am looking for the correct thing. I've been looking at query_string, but am stumped.

Basically, I would like to 301 redirect a URL such as http://domain.com/page12345.html to http://domain.com/page23456.html Where the "page12345" may read any digits and any number of digits. All pages in that format would redirect to a set page.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

This rule should redirect any request that matches /page*.html where * is any combination of numeric characters

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/page([0-9]+)\.html http://domain.com/page23456.html [R=301,L]
