    I had the following redirect for a while:
    RewriteRule ^oldPage/(.*)$ oldPage.php?name=$1
    PHP:
    Now I have changed "oldPage" with newPage so the new rewriterule would be: 
    RewriteRule ^newPage/(.*)$ newPage.php?name=$1
    PHP:
    How do I redirect 301 all old pages to new pages? Is there a kind of wild card to do that instead of indivisually. Obviously this is not a good option:
    Redirect 301 oldPage/(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/newPage.php?name=$1
    PHP:
    because want a user friendly url and unfortunately this isn't working:
    Redirect 301 oldPage/(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/newPage/(.*)
    PHP:
