Routing all requests to single controller

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I need to be able to route all page requests to a single controller function, and pass that function the entire url string so that it can parse it and just fill a premade page with content pulled from a database.

I have attempted setting a custom route like this...

Code:

$route['(:any)'] = "page/parse/$1";

However this only gives me the first section. Is there a way to get all sections of the url passed to the controller function?

EDIT:
I have came to a solution using uri_string() to get the segments within my parse method. I am using this route

Code:

$route[':any'] = "page/parse";

now.

Comments?

Thanks,
Craig
