    Guys

    Im trying to write a pretty URL creator for an online store that Im working on. The idea would be that the URL would look like
    http://shop.com/products/widget/red/1234-XYZ 
    
    Where 1234-XYZ is the product code, and this would rewrite to products.php?param1=1234&param2=XYZ. I understand the pseudo code involved would be something like

    * Get the request URI
    * Write a RewriteCond statement to parse out the 2 parameters into backreferences
    * Take the values of the backreference and add RewriteRule like products.php?param1=$1&param2=$2

    Its the regular expression Im struggling with. How do I find out if the URI ends with a string in that format, ie. 4 numeric, a hyphen and 3 alphanumeric.

    Also, the directory structure could be anything:
    /products/1234-XYZ
    /products/widgets/1234-XYZ
    /products/manufacturer/widget/1234-XYZ
    etc
    

    Any ideas?
