How to convert url segment to querystring with Nginx rewrite

Question

I whould like this simple rewrite rule:

http://example.com/8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5?param1=999&param2=2222

to be redirected to:

http://example.com/index.php?param1=999&param2=2222&hash=8743b52063cd84097a65d1633f5c74f5

The following is my default location:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

How can I achieve this using Nginx rewrite?

Using a rewrite statement:

rewrite "^/(\w{32})$" /index.php?hash=$1 last;

Or, within a location block:

location ~ "^/(?<hash>\w{32})$" {
    rewrite ^ /index.php?hash=$hash last;
}

Thanks @Richard!! That worked! What if I want to take the entire segment no matter how many characters have on it?

You probably want to set minimum and maximum limits, otherwise other URIs may start looking like a valid hash. But \w{16,32} would match an alphanumeric sequence of between 16 and 32 characters for example. See the quick reference here.

Ok, I understand Richard, that make sense. I'll take a look at the reference. Thanks for your support!
