I have a url that includes %25 (/CHIPDRIVE%25AE-micro-pro-SCR335_detail_8_196.html) and I am trying to use a Redirect to redirect it to the new URL. Currently using a Redirect 301 and it is currently not working.

Wrap the URL in urlencode().

so you are saying to do this in my htaccess file?
Redirect 301 urlencode(oldurl.html) http://www.domainname.com/newurl.htm

No, you posted your question in the PHP forum so I assumed you were talking about being inside a PHP script. You cannot use PHP code in your .htaccess file.
I'm assuming that you have some regex going on? Please post a copy of your .htaccess file.

the site is no longer up, so any links that have been indexed we are looking to redirect to our new site.
.htaccess file is located under the old domain.
Redirect 301 /CHIPDRIVE%25AE-micro-pro-SCR335_detail_8_180.html http://www.chipdrive.de/de/chipkartenleser/chipdrive-micro-pro-scr335.htm

What I have doesn't work. The htaccess file doesn't like the % sign but that is part of the old URL. Not sure the correct way to make this redirect work.
