mod rewrite for request uri and query string?

[kleinguy]

I would be glad for some help with the following redirection.

All URLs like

http://www.example.com/w/index.php?title=TEXT&oldid=NUMBER

should be forward to

http://www.example.com/

(TEXT can contain characters from the alphabet and numbers, NUMBER is a number such as 1234.)

I have tried to create an according redirection with mod_rewrite and a regular expression, however, I have miserably failed so far … :(

Problem solved. Thanks a lot for providing just the perfect thread link! :)

Folding a large number of old ULs to the root of a domain raises a red flag to me.

I much prefer to re-map by topic.

Don't worry, the destination has only the purpose to serve as an example for my question.
