A special 301 redirect, when renaming a directory

[cowardino]

Hi

A couple of years back a friend set my indexu up, with the rewrite dir for tags called /-/ instead of /tag/
Now I would like to use the dir name /tag/ instead of /-/, and I know how to rename with the rewrite feature.

I would like to know if it is possible to make ONE global 301 redirect, with this result:

Old url
www.domain.com/-/Mode

to New url:
www.domain.com/tag/Mode

But, I have many (thousands) "tag" directories under the main directory /-/
and would like a 301 redirect that automatically redirects all
subdirectories

More examples:

Old url
www.domain.com/-/Online

to New url:
www.domain.com/tag/Online
-----------
Old url
www.domain.com/-/Surfing

to New url:
www.domain.com/tag/Surfing
-----------
Old url
www.domain.com/-/Hardware

to New url:
www.domain.com/tag/Hardware
-----------

etc etc

The following should work

RewriteRule ^-/(.*) http://www.yoururl.com/tags/(.*) [R=301,L]

But I'm not an expert. You might want to ask at Mod_Rewrite Forums :: Index
