can somebody help me redirect the url in htaccess. as in the links below its showing page.html in the end, which i want not to appear, is it possible by changing anything in the htaccess, also in many urls % is showing quite a lot, which i also want to change either to / or any other charecter to look appropriately.

http://www.domain.com/63-we-are-currently-looking-for-customer-care-executive-for-a-call-center-in-ahmedabad/details.html
the htaccess i am using is below:
RewriteRule ^index.html index.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^recent_ads.html recent_ads.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^register.html register.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^pre-register.html pre-register.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^login.html login.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^logout.html logout.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^favorites.html favorites.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^contact.html contact.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^listings.html listings.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^pre-submit.html pre-submit.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^refine.html refine.php [nc]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/content.html$ content.php?id=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/index.html$ index.php?category=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/details.html$ details.php?id=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([^\/]+)/([^\/]+)/([^\/]+)/recent_ads.html$ recent_ads.php?page=$1&order=$2&order_way=$3 [nc,qsa]

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)/([^\/]+)/store.html$ store.php?id=$1&page=$3 [nc,qsa]
also see in the link below too many % percenta is getting used in the url, can i change this to something else like / without changing the motive of the url, is it possible to make changes in the htaccess alone for achieving this all?
.com/147-apartments-for-rent/no_of_rooms-1%20BHK/area_sq_ft-SQFT%20Less%20than%20500/condition_vehicles-New/listings.html
suppose this all is bein used to construct url
{capture name=some_content assign=constructed_url}{$live_site}/listings.php?page=1{foreach from=$post_array key=k item=x name=construct_url}{if $x!='' && $k!=$v.depending.caption2 && $k!=$v.depending.caption3 && $k!=$v.depending.caption4 && $k!="page" && $k!="show" && (!$settings.enable_locations || (!in_array($k, $location_fields) && $k!="crt_city"))}{$separator}{$k}={$x|replace:'/':'--'|urlencode}{assign var="separator" value="&"}{/if}{/foreach}{/capture}what will need to changed in the code..please don't mind i am new in the line of programming, have just started learning the things....
You have these rules
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/content.html$ content.php?id=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/index.html$ index.php?category=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/details.html$ details.php?id=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/user_listings.html$ user_listings.php?id=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/contact_details.html$ contact_details.php?id=$1 [nc,qsa]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/store.html$ store.php?id=$1 [nc,qsa]
When you remove content.html, index.html, details.html, user_listings.html, contact_details.html and store.html you will have only
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\/]+)?/$ ... [nc,qsa]
How do you decide, what the proper request is? Is it content.html or index.html, maybe details.html. But it could also be store.html.
So, I don't see, how you can remove listing.html and details.html, etc.
You can prevent the %20 in the URLs, when you replace the spaces in the links by something else. You must look in the source code, where the URLs are created (href=..., src=..., urlencode or some other URL creating functions) and use str_replace for example
$url = str_replace(' ', '-', $url);
before you echo the <a href="$url"> tag.
