Apache Rewrite Rule With % characters

I have a url that needs to be rewritten.

http://aplus-carpetcleaning.com/home.php%3Fcity%3DGainesville%2520VA

I have tried this:

^home\.php%3Fcity%3DGainesville%2520VA$ "http://aplus-carpetcleaning.com/home.php?city=Gainevilles%20VA"

This is not being recognized. Tried various alternates but no dice.

Fixed it with:

RewriteRule ^home\.php(.*)city(.*)Gainesville(.*)VA$ "http:\/\/aplus\-carpetcleaning\.com\/home\.php?city=Gainesville VA" [R=301,L]

The rewriting module applies your regex patterns to decoded urls, not the urlencoded string you see inside the browsers url field.

So create your regex pattern using unescaped characters instead. Something like: 

^home.php\?city=Gainesville&20VA$
