Mod rewrite of www subdomain

[greash]

Hi:

I want: http://www.example.com/dir directed to http://example.com/dir.

The dir is the part I'm really going after here in this instance.

I know it's something like this, but I don't want all the www sites to be redirected, only the one with the /dir.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

How do I go about doing this?

Thanks.

In .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^[b]dir/[/b](.*)$ http://example.com/[b]dir/[/b]$1 [R=301,L]

I tried what you suggested, but that didn't work. Any other ideas?
