Subject: Re: Reg Exp

Ok let me try explain my situation a little bit.
I have default route in ROR environment.rb:
map.connect ':lang/:canonic/:controller/:action/:id

it matches paths like:
http://www.abc.com/en/acme/products/show/1

where :canonic is "acme" in this example

I have a specific case where :canonic cannot be "admin"

map.connect method take a key :requirements where I can specify a regex:
map.connect ':lang/:canonic/:controller/:action/:id, :requirement => 
{:canonic => /regex/ }

I need to write in the reg ex, in such a way, so that when something 
like:

http://www.abc.com/en/admin/products/show/1

comes, it doesn't match the path.


I hope this helps in explaining my situation.
