Hi,

I am looking for some guidance on how to forward specific html files to a
new locations.  The motivation is for users who might have bookmarked a no
longer current location and best practices for SEO functionality.  Here
would be an example:

Old:
https://example.com/old/path/to/old_file.html

New:
https://example.com/new/path/to/new_file.html

There is no consistency to the path of old and new file locations, so my
thought would be to define based upon the URI ending in old_file.html.
However, in my testing I have not been able to get it correct.  Would
something like this be the best approach, of course I need to get the
proper regex to allow it to work?

Redirect      ".*/old_file\.html$"     "
https://example.com/new/path/to/new_file.html"; [R=301,L]

 Is a 301 redirect the best way to ensure that SEO is updated for new
locations?

Any guidance is much appreciate.

Thanks,

HB
