.htacess image redirects

[newsiness]

Hi,

In the html page, there are a links to the the same image for example
http://abc.com/***/***/images/XYZ.png -->(case1)
*** indicates variables.

I have XYZ.png file which is located at http://abc.com/images/XYZ.png -->(case2)

In the .htaccess, how to redirect (case1) to (case2)?

Please advice and Thanks in advance!!!

something like the following should do it (untested)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ([/-a-zA-Z0-9]+)/(.*)\.png$ /images/{$2}.png [L]

Try this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/images/(.*) images/$3 [L]

Slightly different from above:

RewriteRule ^([A-z0-9]+)/([A-z0-9]+)/images/([A-z0-9]+)\.png$ /images/$3.png [L]

The difference is only addresses like

http://yoursite.com/ABCdef/GHij123/images/68qowg.png

Will redirect. With the one above so would
