Help with Rewrite Rules

[DAVID3733]

Hi there

 

wonder if there is any body outthere who can advise on Rewrite rules in ht.access

 

what i am trying to do is a 301 on

 

http;//www.mydomain.com/sometext-p-999.html?language=URL_LANGUAGE

to

http;//www.mydomain.com/sometext-p-999.html

 

and from

 

http;//www.mydomain.com/filter_printer.php?filter=333

to

http;//www.mydomain.com/filter_UPS.php?filter=666

 

This is what i have but neither are working

 

 

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

 

RewriteRule ^(.+)-p-(.+)\.html\?language=URL_LANGUAGE$ $1-p-$2.html [R=301]

RewriteRule ^filter_printer\.php?filterid=333$ filter_ups.php?filterid=666 [R=301]

 

I think i must be close but no gold star, spent a good few hours googling but to no avail

 

thank you for reading
