Having trouble understand how rewrite works

[victor]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your help,

If I understand correctly, I need to use $arg_PARAMS. But in the full
source, I have expressions like this one:

/index\.cfm\?PageID=(2|46)&(.*)$

how do I deal with them in that case, if I can't use regex on the
query parameters?

Thanks
