mod_rewrite additional query string - correct syntax

Question

I have a fairly standard mod_rewrite that comes packaged with a CMS called Modx and FURL's are working fine.

It will rewrite

http://www.domain.co.uk/page to http://www.domain.co.uk/index.php?q=*page_id*

It is configures as below.

# Friendly URLs Part
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
# Force all pages to go to www.domain.co.uk for SEO
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/dev/$1 [R=301,L]
# Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dev/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Now I want to add an additional condition that will rewrite an additional query string:

http://www.domain.com/dev/company/*company_id*
to http://www.domain.com/dev/index.php?q=*page_id*&company_id=*company_id*

Note *company_id* and *company_id* should be numbers in the actual rewrite.

Have tried a number of iterations but still can not get success.

Help appreciated!!

#are your sure the above rule shouldn't be :
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

# Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ dev/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

#company url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(company)/([^/]+)$ dev/index.php?q=$1&companyid=$2 [L,QSA]

Gerben - thanks for the answer but unfortunately it doesn't / I can't get it to work still. I have copied your code but when I examine the server vars via php it returns "REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING = q=company/***id_here***" which to me implies that it is not translating the final "/***id_here***" to be &companyid=***id_here*** where id_here is the actual integer id obviously - Any suggestions much appreciated!

REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING contains the original url. $_GET['companyid'] should contain the id.

Gerben thanks for your help. Using $_GET['companyid'] didn't work. I moved the 'company URL' block above the 'Friendly URL' block and it does now work BUT the final url is like domain.com/dev/company/?company_id=1 I was hoping for no traditional query string so domain.com/dev/company/1 - I think it fires both rules which is why the last query string re-appears but I thought using [L] enforced that to be the last rule run - any ideas? Thanks
