[LUG] htaccess regex question

 

Hi,
        about 6 months' back I deleted the /gallery/ directory
tree on my webserver, but MSNbot keeps trying to access it. So I
thought I would try out an .htaccess file, but I can't get it to
work correctly. I am trying to either stop the web-bots accessing
these files altogether (with the 410 code), or I might try
re-directing *all* /gallery/* addresses to /gallery2/main.php.

My current .htaccess file -

Redirect 301 /topmenu.html /topmenu.php
Redirect 301 /books-az.html /books.php
Redirect 301 /goodsinwards.html /gallery2/main.php/v/4801pics/
Redirectmatch 410 ^(/gallery/)*

The top three lines work,  but the bottom line does not.

What should I have put on the bottom line to get it to match all
paths starting /gallery/ ?

best regards
Dave
