301 redirect .htaccess problem

[13375auc3]

Can anyone explain to me why this doesn't work?

Redirect 301 /category/diamond-pendants/nstart/1/start/(.*) http://www.povada.com/category/pendants/nstart/1/start/$1

Im trying to replace everything after /start/ and insert it into the new url.

Thanks in advance.

Redirect doesn't allow for (.*).

What your looking for either: RewriteRule to show the other page (which it doesn't sound like your looking for)

RewriteRule /category/diamond-pendants/nstart/1/start/(.*) /category/pendants/nstart/1/start/$1 [QSA,L]

Or the hardly used: RedirectMatch

RedirectMatch /category/diamond-pendants/nstart/1/start/(.*) http://www.provada.com/category/pendants/nstart/1/start/$1

If it doesn't work like you need let me know, you might need to do it in scripting.
