htaccess help

| Need some .htaccess assistance.
This is the way the URL it is seen in the address bar:
http://www.domain.com/test/test_file.php?file_name={file_number}
This is what I would like to have happen:
If the "{file_number}" variable equals "{file_number}" then I want to redirect it to http://www.domain.com/test/index.php
If the "{file_number}" variable equals anything but "{file_number}" then it is ok.
And I would like to put the .htaccess file in the 'test' directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

| So if I understand, file_number will always be a number, and if it isnt a number, dont redirect it?

| That is correct! Basically if it is anything but a number, it needs to be redirected!
Thanks!

| TBH, this is much better suited to being done within the PHP script itself, using the is_numeric function for sanitizing input.

| While I agree with you, just looking for a quick bandaid at the moment!
Thanks!!! This is doing good, but unfortunately it is also redirect all URL's like:
http://www.domain.com/test/test_file.php?file_name=1
http://www.domain.com/test/test_file.php?file_name=25
http://www.domain.com/test/test_file.php?file_name=345
http://www.domain.com/test/test_file.php?file_name=1225
Not sure if it matters but the file_name variable could be a numeric variable up to 5 digits.
Any thoughts!
Thanks again!

| Yeah I moreless just posted that rewrite rule as a pointer to the exact solution because fine-tuning it would involve more info being neeed concerning the boundries of the query.
But I see you've got a workable solution now.
