For some reason, I am unable to take a URI like
example.com/manufacturers/metlox/0?page=13 and change it to
example.com/manufacturers/m

It seems like the curly braces aren't working. I've tried the following
without results:



location ~* /manufacturers/ {

rewrite "^/manufacturers/(.{1})/(.*)$" /manufacturer/directory/$1
redirect;

}

location ~* /manufacturers/ {

rewrite "^/manufacturers/([a-z] {1})/(.*)$"
/manufacturer/directory/$1 redirect;

}



location ~* /manufacturers/ {

rewrite "^/manufacturers/([a-z]?)/(.*)$" /manufacturer/directory/$1
redirect;

}



I am new to regex, so maybe this is something simple. What I want to get is
the first letter of first captured word. What I can do is pull the entire
word with (.*), but not the first letter only.

Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance.
