Quick regex routing question - El Forum - 12-01-2008

Hi there
I have controller that needs to take loads of arguments from a URL. The amount of arguments will vary.
As the URI is going to get pretty long I'm keen to lose the 'function' part of it and re-route along the lines of:
Code:
/productsearch/(varying*number*of*segments) = /productsearch/listingfunction/(*everything*)Can anyone help me out with the regex specifics?
many thanks.

Ok, I was being lazy. Seems to be as simple as:
Code:
$route['productsearch/(.)+'] = "productsearch/listing/$1";Quick regex routing question - El Forum - 12-01-2008

In the past I have had to do this where I had a whole bunch of data that needed to be passed back to the server from a clientside javascript object as the business rules were too complex to carry out without database interaction.
I used the javascript serialise functions and the encoded the JSON object with URLEncode and passed the JSON object as a single parameter to the controller where I URLUnecoded it and then unserialised it so that CI would play nicely with it.
You should be able to find the Javascript serialise / unserialise functions here

Code:
$route['productsearch/(.+)'] = "productsearch/listing/$1";your regex would only "remember" the last char in the URI
