Dynamic url not rewriting

    Hey folks

    For some reason I have some old urls which just don't want to rewrite. I have lots of others working fine but I think it may be to do with the symbols in these paths which are stopping it from working. Ideally these should be 301'd.

    I need view.asp?filter=category%20name to go to category-name

    Any ideas please?

    Just escape the space(%20) with a backslash "\".

    view.asp?filter=category\ name
    Code (markup):

    Well, you could start by posting what you have in your .htaccess, so we can have a look and find what's wrong with it.

    This may also do it:
    ^view.asp?filter=(.*) /category/$1 or similar
