Lexey, Yaroslav, Thank you guys - we have been using three of your licences since 2003 - you should get an award for the best software and best support on the internet. :)
I have this problem. (On this server we have V2.x but happy to upgrade to V3.x if it solves this issue).
We have two identical rules but we want the second rule to run if there is no match for the first rule.
RewriteRule ([a-z_]+)/([a-z_]+)(?:-([a-z_]*))?\.htm /fileone.asp\?one=$1\&two=$2\&three=$3 [I,O]
/variableone/two-three.htm
RewriteRule ([a-z_]+)/([a-z_]+)(?:-([a-z_]*))?\.htm /filetwo.asp\?one=$1\&two=$2\&three=$3 [I,O]
Ideally we would like the output for the second rule to be the same /variableone/two-three.htm if there is no match for variableone from the first rule. There is a reason why we have variableone coming from the same table for both files.
================
This works but...
RewriteRule /anynameone/([a-z_]+)/([a-z_]+)(?:-([a-z_]*))?\.htm /fileone.asp\?one=$1\&two=$2\&three=$3 [I,O]
/anynameone/variableone/two-three.htm
RewriteRule /anynametwo/([a-z_]+)/([a-z_]+)(?:-([a-z_]*))?\.htm /filetwo.asp\?one=$1\&two=$2\&three=$3 [I,O]
/anynametwo/variableone/two-three.htm
The second solution works but... Is there a way that we can do this without prepending the extra folder?
Best regards,
Jim

And how the 2nd rule could match if the 1st rule does not match with the same pattern?

Lexey, I apologise for being away so long.
This was solved for me but also my description of the problem should have been better.
We needed separate files to run depending on the row returned from one of our tables.
This is the rule which did not work without prepending an extra folder which matched the filename(from below):
RewriteRule /anynameone/([a-z_]+)/([a-z_]+)(?:-([a-z_]*))?\.htm /fileone.asp\?one=$1\&two=$2\&three=$3 [I,O]
This is the rule we were trying to make work(from below):
RewriteRule ([a-z_]+)/([a-z_]+)(?:-([a-z_]*))?\.htm /fileone.asp\?one=$1\&two=$2\&three=$3 [I,O]
This was the rule which provided the solution we were looking for:
RewriteRule ^/([a-z_]+)/([a-z_]+)(?:_([\d]+))?\.htm$ /file$2.asp\?one=$1\&three=$3 [I,O]
It uses a different file for display depending on the classification in the second variable.
Thank you for looking at this, Lexey - your help is invaluable. For me, regex is too easy to read and too hard to write.
Jim
