mod_rewrite example?

I've been looking through the mod_rewrite info from here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod...ml#rewriterule

I still dont understand how to make something like the following:
www.blah.com/aaa/bbb/ccc.xxx

Get rewritten to say:
www.blah.com/aaa/bbb/script.php?page=ccc.xxx

Could anyone who knows mod_rewrite please give the line needed for the
mod_rewrite to do that so I can take a look at it?

Thanks for reading the post :¬)

Thanks. This helps ALOT.

Quick question though:
I noticed there is no ^ in the RewriteCond... was there a certain reason
that Im not aware of - or is it just because its not really needed?

Ok. It's late and I just finished dealing with a database server that
didn't want to serve.

I don't understand what the RewriteCond above adds to the RewriteRule.
From looking at rewrite logs over the past few years, it appears to me
that the Rule is evaluated and if it matches, any conditions are then
evaluated to determine if the rule should be applied. What does the
condition above add to the process?

rules are evaluated first then the conditions in listed order.

Anyway, doing the same thing boht in a rule and again in a condition-when
matching- is a waste.
