    Hey

    I checked webmaster tools today and found that some links to my site had been messed up by ***

    So instead of the url to my site being /Free-Sexy-Stuff/ it was now /Free-***-Stuff/

    I was looking for a way to look for this specifically in htaccess and redirect to /Free-Sexy-Stuff/

    How can I do this?
    If I put *** in my htacess it dies, presumably its a bad character

    Thanks

    I fixed it with:

    RewriteRule  ^Free-([*]{3})-Stuff/$ /Free-Sexy-Stuff/ [R=301,NS]
    Code (markup):
    Not sure how clean it is, but it works
