    OK i have a site that i am moving...

    Old URLs are:
    www.domain.com/category.asp?category_id=1
    www.domain.com/category.asp?category_id=2
    www.domain.com/category.asp?category_id=3

    new URLs are
    www.newdomain.com/shop/item1
    www.newdomain.com/shop/item2
    www.newdomain.com/shop/item3

    So i need to write something in asp that will that will 301 redirect
    if url = "?category_id=1" redirect to www.newdomain.com/shop/item1
    if url = "?category_id=2" redirect to www.newdomain.com/shop/item2
    if url = "?category_id=3" redirect to www.newdomain.com/shop/item3
    else redirect to www.newdomain.com/index.asp

    Just so you understand google has indexed all 3 of these examples:
    www.domain.com/category.asp?category_id=1
    www.domain.com/category.asp?category_id=2
    www.domain.com/category.asp?category_id=3

    So, I want a different 301 redirect TO 3 different pages, but the code needs to be embedded on one page:
    if url = "?category_id=1" redirect to www.newdomain.com/shop/item1
    if url = "?category_id=2" redirect to www.newdomain.com/shop/item2
    if url = "?category_id=3" redirect to www.newdomain.com/shop/item3
    else redirect to www.newdomain.com/index.asp


    I have googled this with no luck.
    Thanks for any help

    Something like:
    
<%
Dim catId
catId = Request.QueryString("category_id")
If catId >= 1 And catId <= 3 Then
Response.Redirect "http://www.newdomain.com/shop/item" & catId
Else 
Response.Redirect "http://www.newdomain.com/index.asp"
End If
%>
    Code (markup):
    that would be saved to domain.com/category.asp

    This is what I ended up writing.
    Not sure if it was the best way, but it worked.

    Thanks again for your help, input.

    <%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
DIM strcategory_id
strcategory_id = Request.QueryString("category_id")

IF strcategory_id = "32" THEN
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://domain.com/shop/Stickers_and_Labels"

ELSEIF strcategory_id = "21" THEN
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://domain.com/shop/CD_and_DVD"

ELSE
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://domain.com"

END IF
