Strange, I read that .* matches any character any number of times. Maybe the / is an exception in this plugin.

Anyway, I’d avoid the problem and create a set of redirects, eg:

source:/folder/
target:/

source/folder/(.*)/
target:/

source:/folder/(.*)/(.*)/
target:/

@berchman
try
Source: /slug/(.*)
Target: /newslug/$1
and don’t forget to tick the regex checkbox.

For each ‘match’, the regex makes the match available as a variable, $1.
So in the first example
source:/folder/(.*)/(.*)/
target:/newfolder/$1/$2/

I had to do a similar thing for my redirects, my notes here

I hope that helps,

“omain.com/news it doesn’t redirect domain.com/news/”
“Also when the url ends with .htm redirection doesn’t works…”

That means your source doesn’t match the requested url. Create a redirection that matches that in addition to the one you have that’s working (or modify your source to a regex that matches both).

EG: Using a regular expression you can only .html posts that by:
Source: /(\d*)/(\d*)/(.*?).html
Target: /$1/$2/$3/
Where the brakets mark out the parts the regular expression applies;
/ = /
(/d*) = any number of digits, when the next character is not a digit it must be
/ = /
..again..
(.*?) = Any number of characters or digits [the .* is any quantity of, ? is any character but won’t match spaces if I remember correctly)
finally ending in .html

For me this matches
/2012/11/my-post-title.html and turns it into /2012/11/myposttitle/

I made some notes for myself on my blog
