Nginx rewrite rule with special character and Regex

Question

We have URLs that contains #! in their structure. I would like them to be redirected.

From:

/#!/about/
/#!/about/example/

To:

/about/
/about/example/

I tried this rule, but it didn't work:

rewrite ^([\/][#][!][\/])(.+[\/])(.+[\/])$ /$2$3 permanent;

Answer 1

Try this much simpler expression:

rewrite ^/\#!/(.*)$ /$1 permanent;
