regex in route.php

[eluser]neph[/eluser]
i'm trying to figure out a way to set up a conditional for not equal to in the route.php file.


$route['!=admin'] = 'home/index';


i have a pretty basic cms that is pulling the actual page markup/content from the database but i want the pages to show up without having to provide a controller name in the url, the only work around i've gotten so far is running a switch in my admin controller for each of those functions and setting a static route for it


so www.site.com/pagename would do a $route[':any'] = "pages/view", works but it causes conflicts with my admin section. so..in short is there a way to do (:any if not equal to 'admin') as part of the regex in the route.php file?

The easiest way to solve it is to put an admin route before all the others

Code:

$route['(admin)(.*)'] = '$1$2';
$route['([a-zA-Z0-9\-\/]+)'] = 'pages/view'

Limit the route to the allowed characters. set the uri_protocol to path_info to prevent the need to add more allowed characters.
