How do I route "mysite.com/clean-article-title" to the correct controller ?

[eluser]little brittle[/eluser]
I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up CI so that "mysite.com/clean-article-title" routes to "mysite.com/blog/article/clean-article-title". I was directed to an article here:
http://remysharp.com/2008/03/25/codeigniter/

But I can't figure out how to get this working. Could anyone explain the easiest way to get this working?

Try this

$routes['([a-z0-9-]+)'] = "blog/article/$1";

NOTE: you can't use CAPITAL letters in your clean article title. If you want to, use [a-zA-Z0-9-]as regex.

Well, that would work. But wouldn't you have to specify all of your controllers in the 'routes' file before that line? Right now it doesn't check for a controller match and thinks everything is a blog article.

True, everything will be a blog entry... I don't really know how els you could do it... You could try smth like mysite.com/blog-clean-title/ and then use regex to cut off the blog, incicating it's a blog entry...

Sudden idea: you can use multiple routes. For instance, you could use:

$route['([a-z0-9-]+)'] = "blog/blahblah/$1";
$route['controller/(:any)'] = "controller/$1";

etc...
