hi all, I need ur help for given subject. I am playing with htaccess rules first time in life.

here is the scene -

i want to redirect the urls -

 http://www.abc.com/var1
 http://www.abc.com/var2

to follwing urls -

 http://www.abc.com/index.php?u=var1
 http://www.abc.com/index.php?u=var2

In this case the values var1 & var2 can be anything (i.e. string which will contain only alphanumeric characters.)

One more thing -

I want to skip this rule if the url is -

http://www.abc.com/SKIPME

Please help me to write this rule!

Regards, Shahu!
