That can't be done on server side since URI component after #
is handled by client side only.
You can alternatively use this Javascript code to do the same:
<script>
if (location.href.indexOf("#") > -1) {
location.assign(location.href.replace(/(page\/page)#anchor/i, "$1"));
}
</script>
I believe the data after #
is considered a fragment. Fragment data is not sent to the server. Therefore you cannot capture it using modrewrite.
the NE
flag may let you capture ^/page/page
and redirect to http://www.example.com/page/page#anchor
but it won't work the other way around.
A simple JavaScript replace will replace the links and allow the users to click on them. But that won't help you with SEO if that is your ultimate goal.
