User Guide: Routing
Hmm. It seems that the examples here don't really illustrate how to use the :any/:num wildcard properly. For example:
Code:
$route['product/:any'] = "catalog/product_lookup";Code:
$route['product/(:any)'] = "catalog/product_lookup/$1";An extra note about bracketing :any and :num like regexps, as well as the $1/$2 convention would help.
I was stuck on this for a while until searching the forum for help. Maybe someone could propose updating the guide to reflect this?

Whats the difference between using brackets and not? You will want to add in $1 of course, but do the brackets change anything?

It doesn't work for me without enclosing :any in round brackets. The route doesn't seem to get matched.
I'm using CI 1.6.1 if it makes a difference.
