regex help after permalink change

  • After an export/import and general site restructuring, my most important blog (my President’s) went from

    /offices/president/blog/index.php/YYYY/MM/DD/slug-goes-here

    to

    /president/YYY/MM/slug-goes-here

    What I need is the regular expression that will allow me to search and replace internal links in the post bodies (in a SQL dump). This is way out of my league regex-wise. Any regex gurus out there?

    YYY or YYYY?

    If it’s YYYY, then with caveats…

    RewriteRule ^offices/president/blog/index.php/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.*)$ https://domain.com/president/$1/$2/$4 [L,R=301]

    Theory should work. I use something VERY similar. $1 is your years, $2 is months, and $4 is slug ?? The $3 was day.

    I also changed my permalinks and need a regular expression to change

    From: /postname/
    To: /blog/category/postname

    Can you help? Thanks!
