Simple routing issue

[eluser]EEssam[/eluser]
Hello,

I need my articles to be working directly through my domain:

Code:

www.mysite.com/some-title-here

That why I have in my routing file:

Code:

$route[':any'] = "article";

But I have other controllers that I want to exclude.

So my question is how can I exclude a list of controllers? I believe I should use Regular Expressions but I don't know how.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a noob at regex but this is my try

Code:

$route['^(?!controller|controller|controller)\S*'] = "article/$1";

where 'controller' is the controller(s) that you want to exclude.

One solution is to simple add a route for each controller, and a catch-all route at the end which will pass any non-matching requests through to your article controller. Another solution is to have the routes dynamically generated on each request, and have your script check that the controller actually exists first.

Whoops, that was meant to be "dynamically".
