Hi all,

Have a unique URL-rewriting situation in Apache.

I need to be able to take a URL that starts with

"\u002f[X]"

or

'\u002f[X]"

Where X is the rest of some URL, and substitute the text

"\u002fmeis2\u002f[X]

I'm not sure how the Regex works in Apache -- I think it's the same as Perl 5? -- but even then I'm a little unsure how this would be done. My hunch is that it has to do with Regex grouping and then using $1 to pull the variable out, but I'm entirely unfamiliar with this process in Apache.

Hoping someone can help -- thanks!
