Damaged htaccess File With Slug In Link

Hi,

I have caused a major problem with my site. I have tried to add a slug to the link.

So instead of..

.com/product/12345

I now have...

.com/product/12345/large-red-widget.

However the changes I have made to my htaccess file have now affected all the other links on my site which run from a query. Can anyone advise how to amend the htacess file just so it impacts on products.

Code:
Options -Indexes     Options -MultiViews     Options +FollowSymLinks      # Prevent viewing of htaccess file     <Files ~ "^\.ht">     order allow,deny     deny from all     satisfy all     </Files>      # Disable directory listing from this point     Options -Indexes      # Error Pages     ErrorDocument 404 /404-error.php      # Rewrite Rules     <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine on       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d       RewriteRule ^products/product/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ products/product.php?product_id=$1 [QSA,L]       RewriteRule ^articles/article/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ articles/article.php?ID=$1 [QSA,L]         RewriteRule ^articles/articlesfiltered/([A-Za-z]+)/(.*)$ articles/articlesfiltered.php?articlecategory=$1 [QSA,L]       RewriteRule ^plusstyle/plusstyle/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ plusstyle/plusstyle.php?ID=$1 [QSA,L]        RewriteRule ^plusstyle/plusstylesfiltered/([A-Za-z]+)/(.*)$ plusstyle/plusstylesfiltered.php?articlecategory=$1 [QSA,L]          RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([a-z\-]+)$ /$1/$2.php [QSA,L]     </IfModule

    I'd try to help but I'm not going to spend the time making your htaccess file readable by adding linefeeds. The webserver may be able to read what's there, but I can't do it easily.

    Hi,

    Im not totally sure what line feeds are? Do you mean the lines for each unique page? That is what Im trying to get away from but Im not sure how.

    Im not finding it as flexible as I thought it would be.

        I think he means changing the look. Right now it looks like everything is in one line rather than separate lines.

        like this

        Code:
        a b c d e
        when it should be like this

        Code:
        a
b
c
d
e

    Hi,

    This is everything. I tried to place it in a code box.

    # Rewrite Rules
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^products/product/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ products/product.php?product_id=$1 [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule ^articles/article/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ articles/article.php?ID=$1 [QSA,L]
