RewriteRule - need to use #

    Hi all.... we all know the hash (#) is a comment but I need to use it as follows"

    RewriteRule ^test/(.*?)$ /test#$1


    The problem is apache recognises the # as a comment so ignores the #$1

    I tried looking for the HTML code but it seems # doesn't have one I can use instead of the actual character... or does it?

    Any help appreciated.

    Can't you just use the backslash to declare it as a literal character?

    RewriteRule ^test/(.*?)$ /test\#$1

    I'm not much of a programmer but I think that should work.
