.htaccess redirect to other page with link info

Hi,
I want to redirect pages that are not found to a redirect_page.php using .htaccess but I want to also process the link information.

For example if I have a link to the following pages that don't exist http://www.mywebsite.com/213 or http://www.mywebsite.com/page=454
how do I pass the '/213' & '/page=454' part to my redirect_page.php page?

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mywebsite.com/redirect_page.php

Thanks routine for your help, but when I tried your code I receive an Internal Server Error?

Make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled. Are you using any other rules?

Thanks routinet, this is what I have so in my .htaccess.

#SetEnv PHPRC /home/mywebsite/public_html
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} Details
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /index.php?page=$1&id=$2&new_page_title=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ([0-9]+)(.*)\.html$ index.php?page_id=$1 


RedirectMatch permanent ^/show/?$  http://www.mywebsite.com.au/showme.php
RedirectMatch permanent ^/showme/?$  http://www.mywebsite.com.au/showme.php


RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.+) /redirect_page.php?uri=$1 [QSA]

I don't see anything obvious there. Try turning on your RewriteLog...perhaps mod_rewrite can provide some feedback about the application of these rules.

Note that you have to turn on the log in your server conf files, not .htaccess.

Thanks routine, seems to be working now, not sure what I missed...
