Routes, how to handle empty strings? [SOLVED, with hack]

[eluser]xzela[/eluser]
So, after some experimentation, I may have a quick hack which solves the problem.

If I change my routing rules to this:

Code:

$route['pages/cake-types'] = 'pages/cake_types/'; //default, non-specific cake page
$route['pages/cake-types/(:any)'] = 'pages/cake_types/$1'; //specific cake page

So far, this works.

Thanks for the help everyone.
