How to make a URL user friendly?

I have some pages in my website which don't have user friendly URL. for eg.

www.mysite.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=68&vendorId=Cookie%20Dough

So I want to change it directly to www.mysite.com/Cookie-Dough by using .htaccess. so far I have hard coded following code in my .htaccess.

RewriteRule ^Cookie-Dough index.php?route=product/category&path=68&vendorId=Cookie%20Dough [NC,L]

which is working fine. But the problem is my vendor ids can change, so I want it dynamic. suppose if I have another URL like

www.mysite.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=68&vendorId=JELLY%20BEANZ than I want it to be www.mysite.com/JELLY-BEANZwithout hardcoding the code in .htaccess.

any help would be appreciated.

You can use the following rule:

RewriteRule ^([^-]+)-([^/]+)/?$ index.php?route=product/category&path=68&vendorId=$1%20$2 [NC,L]

This will rewrite

/foo-bar

to

/ index.php?route=product/category&path=68&vendorId=foo%20bar

Replace /store with your own subdirectory:

---.htaccess file start ----

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /store
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

# Added for non www queries
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www .%{HTTP_HOST}/store/$1 [R=301,L]
---.htaccess file ends ----
