RewriteRule not matching for URL containing hash

I'm struggling with an htaccess rule at the moment - my knowledge of htaccess is rather rusty.

I want to internally rewrite (ie no redirect) a URL that contains a hash from http://example.com/resources/3d/35d891df36cc4f08e10915e267ff54e4/index.php to http://example.com/3d/resources/35d891df36cc4f08e10915e267ff54e4/ in order to work around a really crappy implementation in some legacy code. I've written the following rule to do the redirect:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/resources/3d/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/index.php$
RewriteRule /3d/resources/$1 [NC]

However, while the first part is matching, the second is not, and I can't see where I've gone wrong. Can anyone else point out the error?

You were really close to getting this to work. So I've made two small changes to make this work:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/resources/3d/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/index.php$
RewriteRule ^ /3d/resources/%1? [NC]

Adding ^ to the rewrite rule and changing $1 to %1. Your use of $ was grabbing the resources directory again and not the query, changing this to %1 fixes this. I've added ? to stop any further queries from being added to the end of the URL.
