UrlRewriting with and without trailing slash

UI Questions
Greetings!

First of all the Umbraco version that I'm currently working on is : v 4.7.2 .

My clint wants to redirect www.domain.com/summer/ to www.newdomain.com/

So I added following line into UrlRewriting.config
```
<add name="rewrite237" 
redirectMode="Permanent" 
redirect="Domain" 
ignoreCase="true" 
rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite" 
virtualUrl="www.domain.com/summer/" 
destinationUrl="www.newdomain.com/" />
```
But that doesn't include www.domain.com/summer , so if I change the <add> to:
```
<add name="rewrite237" 
redirectMode="Permanent" 
redirect="Domain" 
ignoreCase="true" 
rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite" 
virtualUrl="www.domain.com/summer" 
destinationUrl="www.newdomain.com/" />
```
Then it works with www.domain.com/summer & www.domain.com/summer/ but then I hit another issue. Inside umbraco. My client have another node called summer14. so www.domain.com/summer14 . Now since I've added my last update to <add> the summer14 node is also being redirected. and the end url for some reason is: www.newdomain.com/14/

Is there a way to tell UrlRewriting.config to only redirect summer and summer/ ?

Hi Srdjan,

If you end the RegEx with a dollar sign, it will only match the end of the string, so add a $ on the end and see how that works.

Hi Srdjan,

Just had a need to figure this out for realz :-)

So adding [/] matches a single slash - adding a ? to make it optional and then finally put a $ on the end to match the end of the string, essentially matching an optional trailing slash:
```
<add name="rewrite237"
   redirectMode="Permanent"
   redirect="Domain"
   ignoreCase="true"
   rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
   virtualUrl="www.domain.com/summer[/]?$"
   destinationUrl="www.newdomain.com/"
/>
```
