domain

Hi, I've been struggling with the following rule:

RewriteRule ^subdomains/example.com/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I'm trying to redirect anything that occurs after the folder /subdomains/example.com/ to http://www.example.com/ whilst including any filename or extra folder path information.

E.g:

www.olddomain.com/subdomains/example.com/index.html -> www.example.com/index.html www.olddomain.com/subdomains/example.com/files/ -> www.example.com/files/ www.olddomain.com/subdomains/example.com/files/index.html -> www.example.com/files/index.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

eb_dev

My ideal setup would be to take a current clients site, upload a .htaccess with a regex inside, that would match the URI, and if it finds a certain file extension, it would use the same path, but with an altered domain. ie.
