How to correctly form a rule for mod_rewrite?

Question

htaccess

I have a rule for links like ru/catalog/windows/browser

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php/$1/$2/$3/$4

but it does not work for links like browser yandex , that is, when there is a space in the word.

Answer 1

([a-zA-Z0-9_- ]+)
или
([^\/]+)

Answer 2

God, what the hell did you write?
1. Read up on greedy and lazy quantifiers and you'll know Zen. And that will solve your problem.
2. you don't need to list everything except the slash, because there are OOOOO exceptions [^/]- this is NOT

And so
1. Read about lazy quantifiers and put a limit on the third slash . (but this is already a bro level)
well, in your version, put .+it but not [^/], and naturally close it with a slash, in this case everything will be highlighted up to the first slash, and so on.
