htaccess redirect url with parameter variables

Question

I am trying to redirect traffic when user visit my site from a specific url.
* CATEGORY_ID will be alpha_numeric

//domain.net/news/cat/{CATEGORY_ID}

should be redirected to

//other.com/#/id/{CATEGORY_ID}

my attempt from this article

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/news/cat/(.+)$
RewriteRule .* //other.com/#/id/%1 [L,R=301,QSA]

gave a 404 error.

Any help please, thank you!

Verify whether your .htaccess is enabled or not, by putting some garbage (random) text on top of your .htaccess and see if it generates 500 (internal server) error or not when you visit your page in browser. 500 error means .htaccess is enabled. — anubhava

You can use:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^news/cat/(.+)$ http://exemple.com/\x2523/id/$1 [NC,L,R=301]
