Redirect Dynamic URL (With Variables) Using .htaccess

[ateman]

I did a search and found *some* of what I was looking for, but I am not good on this side of the web, so I need the EXACT syntax or I am useless :)

I need to redirect a dynamic url with the variable(s) intact to a static html page. I tried setting up a very basic re-direct in .htaccess but found that it would strip the variables off and be way too aggressive about redirecting the url no matter what the variables were.

I want to send this URL:
http://example.com/exlforum/index.php?board=1

To This URL:
http://example.com/events_exl.html

I DONT want it to also redirect index.php?board=2 index.php?board=3 and so on...JUST http://example.com/wexforum/index.php?board=1

please help! much thanks in advance....

Post your code, and we'll help you figure out how to make it work. But we can't write it for you.
