Redirect old URLs from PunBB to Vanilla

Hello.
I'm trying to redirect old URLs from a PunBB board with custom paths, but I can't do it.
I tried the following code in htaccess, but it does not work :
RedirectMatch permanent /topic(.*) https://www.example.net/discussion/$1/
My old URLs use the following pattern:
https://www.example.net/topic123-keyword.html
Thank you for your help.

As far as I understand it, in the pattern
/topic(.*)the (.*) would match everything behind "/topic" when everything you need is the number. For Vanilla both links below are the samehttps://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/37873/redirect-old-urls-from-punbb-to-vanilla
https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/37873
try something like
/topic(\d*).*insteadYes, it works!
Thanks a lot.
Have you tried the Redirector plugin? I'm pretty sure it has PunBB support builtin.
Hi.
Yes, I had tried. But this plugin seems to work only with unwritten urls (= viewtopic.php?id=...).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^topic(\d+)-(.+)\.html$ https://www.example.net/discussion/$1-$2 [R=301,L]
You can simulate your URL on any online tool such as https://redirectchecker.com/ to get detail redirection chain step by step.
