trouble with getting my mod_rewrite rules to run

I have been trying several variations to get my server to redirect - but all seem to fail. :(

This is my url: 

"meaty-monster-bikes.zz-reviews.com/monster-bikes/p1c9.html"

Now the data I want to collect in variables is the portion after

"meaty-monster-bikes.zz-reviews.com/"

so in this case I want "monster-bikes" and "p1c9"

Then using the collected variables the server can redirect to:

"zz-reviews.com/index.php?p=1&c=9&k=monster-bikes"

I have thried this in my .htaccess file: 

Options +SymLinksifOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[\.0-9-a-z]+/([-a-z]+)/p([0-9]+)pg([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?p=$2&c=$3&k=$1 [NC,QSA,L]

I also tried : 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[.+].zz-reviews.com/([-a-z]+)/[.+]$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^[\.0-9,:\/-a-z]+p([0-9]+)c([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?p=$1&c=$2&k=%1 [NC,QSA,L]

As far as I can see, both should work, but neither do.

This is the webpage:

http://zz-reviews.com/index.php?p=1&c=9&k=monster-bikes

If you click on the Category "Monster Bikes"

You will see this url:

"http://meaty-monster-bikes.zz-reviews.com/monster-bikes/p1c9.html"

The htaccess does not properly redirect.

Can anyone see my mistake ?

Thanks .

RewriteRule ^([^./]+)/([a-z]+)(\d+)([a-z]+)(\d+)\.html$ index.php?$2=$3&$4=$5&k=$1 [L,NC]

This is the Rule you need - when you go to the url

meaty-monster-bikes.zz-reviews.com/monster-bikes/p1c9.html

You will redirect (behind the scenes) to this url

meaty-monster-bikes.zz-reviews.com/index.php?p=1&c=9&k=monster-bikes

Explaination:

^([^./]+) - starts after the com the first arg ($1) take all characters until / - this will take the string "monster-bikes"

/ - the / character of the url

([a-z]+) - follow by abc letter (you can change it if there are other strict) this will take "p" ($2)

(\d+) - follow by number - this will take "1" ($3)

([a-z]+) - follow by abc letter - this will take "c" ($4)

(\d+) - follow by number - this will take "9" ($5)

\.html$ - ends with string ".html"

Redirect it to index.php with the assembled parameters:

index.php?$2=$3&$4=$5&k=$1 = index.php?p=1&c=9&k=monster-bikes
