Redirect with part of matched URL

Thanks for reaching here! Could you please elaborate your query on your requirement to help you better on this.
As its mentioned in the referred document in for Wildcard rules match all requests in a route pattern, are only supported at the end of a path, and may be filtered by file extension and a route pattern of /articles/* matches all requests under the /articles/ path.

Hi @SnehaAgrawal-MSFT , thanks for the answer.
Let me elaborate a bit, matching the incoming route is not the problem, we are indeed using wildcards at the end of the URL. Our problem is that we want to redirect the user to a new URL which uses part of the old one. i.e. suppose we move our blog's base URL from /blog to /articles; then anyone reaching the old /blog/... prefixed URL, like /blog/firstarticle, would hit 404, so we want to instead redirect them to the new URL which is /articles/firstarticle.

My question is: can we have a rule that whatever is matched by the wildcard (in the example above it's "firstarticle") is appended to the new URL? ( /oldpath/* -> /newpath/MATCHED )
This is very useful as it'd allow us to not break links that have been indexed by search engines for example.

Let me know if my question is clearer now.

Hi,
I am also searching for a solution. For example my old url was:

/products/description/:id  

And my new url is:

/products/:id  

`

There fore I would like to have redirect rule like:

`

 "routes": [  
    {  
      "route": "/products/description/{id}",  
      "redirect": "/products/{id}",  
      "statusCode": 301  
    }  
  ]  

`
But this does not work. is there any other way to achieve this?

I would like to use this for my documentation website where I have multiple versions available. It would be great to be able to rewrite latest/{name of doc).html to 1.2.2/(name of doc).html (or whatever the current version happens to be).
