Hi,

I can't seem to figure this out.  I would like to do the following redirect:

From:
http://www.example.com/profile/DrBobSmith-MD-NewYork-NY.html

To:
http://www.example.com/profile/Dr-Bob-Smith-MD-New-York-NY.html

Basically insert a hyphen before one or more instances of upper case [A-Z] followed by lower case [a-z], as long as the hyphen does not exist.

Another example:

From:
http://www.example.com/profile/JaneSmith-LosAngeles-CA.html

To:
http://www.example.com/profile/Jane-Smith-Los-Angeles-CA.html

Thanks for your help!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your reply.  I tried your solution and it does not seem to work.  When I apply the rule to:

http://www.example.com/profile/DrBobSmith-MD-NewYork-NY.html

I get http://www.example.com/profile/Dr-BobSmith-MD-NewYork-NY.html

Back to the drawing board.

Actually, I think I came up with a solution.  This seems to work for me:

Code: ^(profile/.*[a-z])([A-Z][a-z].*\.html) $1-$2 [LP]

With this code,

http://www.example.com/profile/DrBobSmith-MD-NewYork-NY.html 

it gives me

http://www.example.com/profile/Dr-Bob-Smith-MD-New-York-NY.html

I will test some more to see if this works for all cases.

Thanks.
