How to convert a apache url rewrite rule to IIS rule?

I have url rewrite rule on my .htaccess file like this.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(scripts|css)/(.+)\.(.+)\.(js|css)$ $1/$2.$4 [L]

I need to use the same rule on my IIS .

I have used ^(.*)\.[\d]{10}\.(css|js) for the pattern. I am not sure what to mention Rewrite URL.

I want to rewrite the url /css/structure.1234.css as /css/structure.css

Anyone knows please help?

I read your other ColdFusion question (regarding using regex to add a numerical value to a filename.)

We use an underscore and a 14 digit datestamp. Here's the IIS Rewrite Rule that we use. You can modify it for your needs.

<rule name="CSSJSDatestamp" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="^(.*)(_[0-9]{14}\.)(css|js)$" />
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
        <add input="{SCRIPT_NAME}" pattern="/_scripts/" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}.{R:3}" />
</rule>

BTW, I don't use this method anymore with my ColdFusion-drive websites since installing IISpeed (PageSpeed for IIS). It automatically minifies, concats and caches JS/CSS files when the files are changed (without the need for cach-busting). It can also optimize images based on device support (ie, reduce size, auto-conversion to WebP, etc). I also really like that it can move all CSS & JSS to the HEAD of the HTML file, prioritize CSS and lazy loads all images "below the fold" with having to add any ColdFusion code or use jQuery.
