Hu?  
Are you actually talking to Glen while replying my mail,  
or did I miss something obvious in the regex above?

I think i’ve confused ☹

What i want is

[http://www.mydomain.com/$number/title](http://www.mydomain.com/$number/title)

i need to get that $number then rewrite it to  
[http://app.mydomain.com/redirect/$number](http://app.mydomain.com/redirect/$number)

I’ve read about regex, and seems that’s not the right thing to do
