mod_rewrite issue

I have some old files that need to point to new files - the old files are indexed from Google like this: old%20file%20here.pdf - because the last people doing the site left spaces in file names - but in my Rewrites they just aren't matching the old file to send to the new - does anyone know how to ignore the %20 and redirect right?

My rewrite code here:

RewriteRule ^downloads/old%file%20here.pdf$ http://www.domain.co.uk/new-file.pdf [R=301,L]

Its working 开发者_如何学Cfine for rest of redirects which are pages with normal URLs.

found the answer, this is it

[space]name (so should be \ name) instead of what i was doing which was \%20name

hope this helps any one else!
