Url rewriting rule not working

Question

I have the following URL rewrite rule that doesn't get activated when I hit the following URL:

http://www.oldurl.co.uk/2008/06/salaries

            <rule name="Test" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^http://www.oldurl.co.uk/20$(.*)" />
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.newurl.com/20{R:1}" /> 
            </rule>

Can any help please?

Answer 1

$ is special character denoting end-of-string. Escape this character:

<match url="^http://www.oldurl.co.uk/20\$(.*)" />
