Redirecting an already redirected page - .htaccess

RewriteRule ^teamstore/(.*)/$ /teamproduct.php?teamproduct=$1&products=true [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^teamstore-(.*)/$ /teamproduct.php?teamproduct=$1&products=true [NC,L]
Here's the situation. We've already had theese urls rewritten, but we want to change the formatting of these pages so they're separated by hyphen instead of a slash.
I tried redirectmatch but this added additional php value parameters to the end of the urls. It came out to be
RedirectMatch 301 /teamstore/(.*) http://www.domainname.com/teamstore-$1/
Here was the result...
teamstore-valuehere//?teamproduct=2352323&productes=true
I want someone who types in the original address teamstore/info/ to get directed to teamstore-info/ - Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
The main reason is to avoid duplicate content issues with existing links in Google Search Results.

Order of the rules can matter, but if you want to 301 redirect the initial request for SEO reasons, then I would change your RewiteRules to the following.
RewriteRule ^teamstore/(.*)/$ teamstore-$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^teamstore-(.*)/$ /teamproduct.php?teamproduct=$1&products=true [NC,L]
This will first translate teamstore/info/ to teamstore-info/ and send the appropriate 301 response. Upon second pass it will redirect to the php you want.
Note, this is not ideal as far as performance. Yet, it does accomplish the goal of making Google happy.

htaccess redirect if the url does not contain a specific character

I'm moving the site to a subdomain and need certain tag strings to go to the subdomain and some to remain on the main site. Problem is both have a similar tag system.
I need this type of request
https://www.site.co.uk/tags/example-tag
to go here:
https://sub.site.co.uk/tags/example-tag
but this type of request
https://www.site.co.uk/tags/view?tags=14-some-varriable
to remain unchanged and parsed to content without redirecting.
What would be the most recommended and best solution?
I have written some code to work around other redirects but this one is causing me a headache.
Cheers
For your this mentioned example, below should work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)/(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://sub.site.co.uk/%1/%2 [R]

how to redirect URL containing query string and random numbers in .htaccess

When customers cancel a transaction on my site, they get redirected to the WooCommerce cart page with a query string containing randomly generated numbers at the end.
Example
https://www.example.com/cart/?woo-paypal-cancel=true&token=EC-5474842406066680S
(I need this redirect due to a plugin conflict between WP Rocket cache with CDN activated and WooCommerce. Long story.)
I'm wondering what exactly I would put in my .htaccess file to get it to redirect to
https://www.example.com/cart/
I've tried a number of variations I found on multiple pages here on Stackpath, but it wasn't redirecting. Obviously I'm missing something so I'm turning to the gurus.
Would be very grateful for your help.
To redirect /cart/?woo-paypal-cancel=true&token=<anything> to /cart/ you can try something like the following near the top of your .htaccess file (using mod_rewrite):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^woo-paypal-cancel=true&token=
RewriteRule ^cart/$ /cart/? [R,L]
The ? on the end of the RewriteRule substitution strips the query string from the request.
This is a temporary (302) redirect.

Sitewide redirects

I'm working on doing a site-wide redirect, while still maintaining a consistent url pattern.
http://www.site1.com/folder/page
should first redirect to
http://www.site1.com/redirectHandler?dest=folder/page
which would ultimately have a link to http://www.site2.com/folder/page
I can obviously code the last part, but since there are several hundred pages, I'm hoping someone can show how to do the first redirect via htaccess, instead of individual code on each page?
Did some investigation, here's what I found which does the trick (much simpler than I thought)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site1.com/redirectHandler?dest=$1 [R=301,L]

htaccess redirecting from rewritten dynamic urls to new dynamic urls

i am experiencing a very unique problem and i hope someone can help!
so we have recently created a new ecommerce website and we made it live and everything was working great but when we to implement our 301's from our old pages we were getting some wierd things
so the code below actually works
Redirect 301 /directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1
this code does not
Redirect 301 /directory/sub_directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=2
the output when i try to do this redirection is "Invalid parameters specified!" on a blank webpage and in the address bar it has this
http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1/sub_directory/
we were thinking that maybe the problem is because our old pages were dynamic but mod_rewrite was used to create more readable urls and we have also deleted all our old files because they were interfering with our new pages rendering
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
That is strange, as redirect should only match the specific url listed, where as it looks like its behaving like rewriterule and partially matching the subdirectory url against the first rule..
try putting the more specific rule above the less specific, like so:
Redirect 301 /directory/sub_directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=2
Redirect 301 /directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1
That way the more specific rule will be hit first, and the /directory/ only rule will only match if more specific matches above fail
alternatively, you could try RewriteRules:
RewriteRule ^directory/$ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^directory/sub_directory/$ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=2 [R=301,NC,L]
the ^ and $ anchors should prevent any unwanted partial matching

301 redirect urls with specific string for .htaccess

I'm new to this coding. I've searched all over for ways to do this but I have not come up with a working solution. I'm not even sure if I am looking for the correct thing. I've been looking at query_string, but am stumped.
Basically, I would like to 301 redirect a URL such as http://domain.com/page12345.html to http://domain.com/page23456.html Where the "page12345" may read any digits and any number of digits. All pages in that format would redirect to a set page.
Thanks for your help!
This rule should redirect any request that matches /page*.html where * is any combination of numeric characters
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/page([0-9]+)\.html http://domain.com/page23456.html [R=301,L]
