  • Can you give us a minimal example of a regex that doesn't work? Commented Jul 10, 2014 at 21:29
  • Well, all those ? in your regex will cause that. Did you paste into an editor that doesn't do unicode? Commented Jul 10, 2014 at 21:41
  • Thanks,first post edited and I add more lines.I didn't paste to editor, just copy from .htaccess file from Directadmin editor Commented Jul 11, 2014 at 11:20
  • And your question is? Which part of the error message is not clear to you? And why do you paste many lines of your .htaccess file while the error highlights an issue with a single expression? It should be fine to just paste that line (plus a little context if appropriate). Commented Oct 9, 2014 at 12:30

Your regex does not compile because the hyphen - is interpreted as a character range marker. Move it to the top of the character range. We can also make a few tweaks, although it's hard to know the exact intent. Try this:

^encyclopedia-terms([0-9]*)-([-\w\xa2\xa7\xa8\xa9\xab\xac\xad\xae\xaf\xb0\xb1\xb2\xb3\xb4\xb5\xb6\xb7\xb8\xb9\xbe\x82\x83\x84\x85\x86\x88\x87\x8c]*).html
  • moved the -
  • used \w instead of letters, digits and underscores
  • removed the ? which serve no purpose
  • reorganized the chars

This can be shortened to:

^encyclopedia-terms([0-9]*)-([-\w\xa2§-©«-¹\xbe\x82-\x88\x8c]*).html

Thanks, htaccess file is very big and contain many line of rules.I edit first poet and put some lines in it. Should I change all lines?
Thanks for care. Actually with changing 1 line problem not solved, should I change all Lines?
I only changed the one that had the compile error. Do you have new compile errors?
last compile error seems solved, but know another line have problem:/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^special-links-([0-9]*)-([a-zA-Z0-9_-?\xa7?\xa2?\xa8U\xbe???\xab?\xac?\x86?\xad?\xae?\xaf?\xb0?\xb1?\xb2???\xb3?\xb4?\xb5?\xb6?\xb7?\xb8?\xb9??U?U\x82U\x83?\xa9?\xafU\x84U\x85U\x86U\x88U\x87U\x8cU?]*).html
I change that line like your sample and one by one error is changing to next line.what bout this? ^special-links/([0-9]*)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-?\xa7?\xa2?\xa8U\xbe???\xab?\xac?\x86?\xad?\xae?\xaf?\xb0?\xb1?\xb2???\xb3?\xb4?\xb5?\xb6?\xb7?\xb8?\xb9??U?U\x82U\x83?\xa9?\xafU\x84U\x85U\x86U\x88U\x87U\x8cU?]*)
