Redirecting URLs using variables

Or maybe

Code:

www.youtube.com/user/([^?]+)\1      $RDIR(http://www.youtube.com/user/\1/videos?view=0)

?

Why does the AND symbol separated by spaces cause the text after "user/" to be matched?

Why would filling the variable be in question at all? I thought it would only be triggered if text existed after "user/". If the text is there, how can it not be seen?

Since this goes in the Exceptions-U list, I'm confused about why you mentioned "Depending on where the code is." Lists don't search through html & css like a filter, do they? I thought it would only catch the URL if it were actually requested.

It is as Scott Lemmon wanted or left it. The spaces are not needed, btw.

A trailing \1 used in the matching expression of a web page filter captures code. A trailing \1 in a URL match or list entry, called from a URL match, does not.

Exceptions-U is called by the URL match of a header filter. It can catch requested URLs. It does not filter html.

Lists called by the matching expressions of web page filters can search through html, css, etc.

HTH

Edit: added , called from a URL match,
