.htaccess rewrite rule with multiple {QUERY_STRING}s

I am working on a website project where we basically move from TYPO3 to a WordPress & Magento-solution.

Before launching the new site, I would like to add rewrite rules to point the old (TYPO3, non-SEF) URLs to the corresponding new ones. I have an Excel-list with around 1000 URLs that I somehow would like to add to htaccess and create 301's. If you have a better approach for this, I'd be thankful.

What I am struggling with is:

The "old" URL structure looks something like ?id=123\&user_e15proddb1_pi1[domain]=42

the correcponding new URL would be /de/alle-produkte/neuheiten.html

RewriteEngine is on, RewriteBase is /.

I tried

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=123\&user_e15proddb1_pi1[domain]=42$
RewriteRule . /de/alle-produkte/neuheiten.html [R=301,L]

With additionally escaping the _and the [] with no avail. I tried to seperate the {QUERY_STRING}s into two by

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=123$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^user_e15proddb1_pi1[domain]=42$

followed by TheRule. Also no avail.

Rewriting itself works, because I tried

RewriteRule .id=123\&user_e15proddb1_pi1\[domain\]=42$ /de/alle-produkte/neuheiten.html [R=301,L]

But that only works without the question mark in the beginning.

Could you give me a hint on what I am doing wrong?

I got a solution to and made this one work:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=123\&user\_e15proddb1\_pi1\[domain\]=42$
RewriteRule (.*) /de/alle-produkte/neuheiten.html? [R=301,L]

Proably something with escaping those characters was going wrong when I tried over and over again.

You can use this rule by escaping [ and ]:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=123&user_e15proddb1_pi1\[domain\]=42$
RewriteRule ^ /de/alle-produkte/neuheiten.html? [R=302,L]

Also note ? at the end of target URI to strip off any existing query string to prevent a redirect loop.
