Subject: [users@httpd] aliasmatching,  $1, $2, etc. need explanation please

Hi

I'm trying to figure out what the $1,  $2, etc.. mean in the following:

ScriptAliasMatch ^/~([^/]*)/cgi-bin/(.*) /home/$1/cgi-bin/$2

With a request to http://example.com/~user/cgi-bin/script.cgi

Are they variables which contain a match against the regex?

Like $1 = user, $2 = script.cgi ?

I have an AliasMatch, ^/(.*) /some/place/index.php$1

with a request to http://example.com/home/main.html?this=something

What is stored in $1?

I'm thinking /home/main.html?this=something

Am I correct?

Is there a $2 variable for this match also?  If so, what would it be.

Thanks.
