Simple .htaccess rewrite to pass 1 parameter

Question

Can someone please tell me what should my .htaccess file contain to create the following rewrite:

http://www.example.com/success

to call

Answer 1

Heres is one way to do it:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*(success)/?$
RewriteRule .* http://www.mysite.com/index.php?q=%1 [L]

UPDATED

This modification allows for any word(s) instead of success in the previous version:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/(\w+)$
RewriteRule .* http://www.mysite.com/index.php?q=%1 [L]
