The following is performed at the web site level in IIS. See 'Resources' below for the 'URL Rewrite' download link, the user reference guide, and a couple other helpful links.
Match URL > Requested URL: 'Matches the Pattern' > Using: 'Regular Expressions' > Pattern:
*Note: Pattern: tests against the <path>, not the entire URL!
http(s)://<host>:<port>/<path>?<querystring>
So if you want to test if a string is in the beggining of the path, you would use ^. For example, if you want to redirect...
http://intranet.samplecompany.com/hr/Pages/default.aspx
... to ...
http://intranet.samplecompany.com/teams/hr/Pages/default.aspx
... you would use:
Pattern: ^hr/.*
Then, Action > Action type: 'Redirect' > Action Properties > Redirect URL:
http://intranet.samplecompany.com/teams/{R:0}
The {R:0} is a back reference variable. You can see it when you use the 'Test pattern...' button in the 'Match URL' section of the form.
*Tip: When using the 'Test pattern...' button > Input data to test:
Use the path, not the entire URL! Remember, the pattern tests against the path, not the entire URL!
*Note: It seems that when using 'Conditions', the path needs a leading forward slash. So for the 'Redirect URL' with no Conditions, one would use the pattern...
^hr/.*
... and the 'Redirect URL'...
http://intranet.samplecompany.com/teams/{R:0}
... but with Conditions, one would use the Condition pattern...
^/hr/.*
... and the 'Redirect URL'...
http://intranet.samplecompany.com/teams{C:0}
*Another Note:
If you attempt to browse to a non-existent page, you will get a 404 error. This is by design, because if the following link doesn't exist here...
http://intranet.samplecompany.com/hr/Pages/sample.aspx
... it's not going to exist here either...
http://intranet.samplecompany.com/teams/hr/Pages/sample.aspx
