.htaccess (revisited)

Looking for insight....

[tonynoriega]

First question is, how can i take these lines:

[2]
RewriteRule Builders/ index.php?action=page_display&PageID=12 [L]
RewriteRule Builders index.php?action=page_display&PageID=12 [L]
RewriteRule builders index.php?action=page_display&PageID=12 [L]
[/2]

and make it one line.... i havent figured that out...

Second question...say i have this line in my .htaccess file:

[2]
RewriteRule syringa/ index.php?action=page_display&PageID=12 [L]
[/2]

Then, i have s subdirectory page that i want direct access to via URI which is:
http://www.example.com/newsletters/syringaEblast/index.html

when i try to get to that direct URI, the RewriteRule kicks in and directs me to the rule.... why would that be?

<--!my .htaccess file below-->

# SEARCH ENINGE FRIENDLY URLS FOR OR 2.0
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On

[edit reason] switched to example.com [/edit]

[phranque]

RewriteRule Builders/ index.php?action=page_display&PageID=12 [L]
RewriteRule Builders index.php?action=page_display&PageID=12 [L]
RewriteRule builders index.php?action=page_display&PageID=12 [L]

the regular expression that would match those three strings is:

[Bb]uilders/?
