Can I use [N] flag to improve this [simple] rewrite?

    Hello all,

    The problem is just to do a bunch of simple replaces and redirect.

    Currently I rewrite the URL over and over again but I cannot figure out how to use the [N] flag which, from what I've read, I think would be better.

    Example Input: /www/D/google/D/ca/search/D/php/Q/q/E/query
    Redirects to: http://www.google.ca/search.php?q=query

    RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /lrd

# Ignore?
RewriteRule ^(.*)/SI/.*/EI/(.*)$ /lrd/$1$2 [R,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/SI/.*$ /lrd/$1 [R,L]

# Replace dots
RewriteRule ^(.*)/D/(.*)$ /lrd/$1.$2 [R,L]

# Replace equals
RewriteRule ^(.*)/E/(.*)$ /lrd/$1=$2 [QSA,R,L]

# Replace ampersand
RewriteRule ^(.*)/A/(.*)$ /lrd/$1&$2 [QSA,R,L]

# Replace question marks
RewriteRule ^(.*)/Q/(.*)$ /lrd/$1?$2 [QSA,R,L]

# Redirect!
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://$1 [R,L]
    Code (markup):
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
