.htaccess replace "/" with "_"

Question

This is my current htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    # turn on rewrite engine
    RewriteEngine on

    # if request is a directory, make sure it ends with a slash
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^(.*/[^/]+)$ $1/

    # if not rewritten before, AND requested file is wikka.php
    # turn request into a query for a default (unspecified) page
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !wakka=
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} wikka.php
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wikka.php?wakka= [QSA,L]

    # if not rewritten before, AND requested file is a page name
    # turn request into a query for that page name for wikka.php
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wikka.php?wakka=$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

My current url structure is

www.domain.com/site/pool/Page_Example_Test
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page_Example_Test/edit
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page_Example_Test/edit?id=1
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page_Example_Test/history
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page_Number_Room
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page_Number_Room/edit

How Is it possible to access them like this

www.domain.com/site/pool/Page/Example/Test
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page/Example/Test/edit
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page/Example/Test/edit?id=1
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page/Example/Test/history
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page/Number/Room
www.domain.com/site/pool/Page/Number/Room/edit

having the htaccess change only those "/" for "_" There is only /history and /edit finishing the url name nothing more, the normal is without /edit or /history.

is it possible ? I've tried with regex's but no luck still, some guidelines would be very much appreciated. If no help I'll continue to search for a solution like I've been doing for a few days now... — flynn, Apr 12 '14 at 03:06

If there are between one and five pieces in the page name, such as

Page
Page/Page
Page/Page/Page
Page/Page/Page/Page
Page/Page/Page/Page/Page

and every element starts with a capital letter and every other part of the url is only lowercase, then you can accomplish this with four replacements (the one-piece-only one needs no replacement). For example, for three pieces:

Find what: ([A-Z][a-z]+)\/([A-Z][a-z]+)\/([A-Z][a-z]+)(\/)?
Replace with: $1_$2_$3$4

You can try it here (although I don't understand why it's only replacing with spaces in every line but the last).

Notes:

Each part (...) is captured
The final slash \/? is optional, and is the slash before the potential "edit" or "history".
In some regex flavors, you don't need to escape the slash /, but it's safer to do so: \/.
Each $[number] is a capture group reference
WARNING! These replacements must be done from longest to shortest: five pieces, then four, then three, then two. Otherwise, you'll seriously mess things up.

Place this code in /site/pool/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /site/pool/

RewriteRule "^(Page)/([^/]+)/([^/]+/.*)$" /$1/$2_$3 [L]
RewriteRule "^(Page)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$" /$1/$2_$3 [L]
