I got this idea from logging into my Google Webmaster Tools and the big red WARNING in the Sitemap area saying "too many redirects"

I really don't want to spend time doing 70 lines of redirect for 70 (or more) different files, so I was hoping for a wildcard solution...you know something like

redirect 301 /xyz*.htm http://122222222.com/newdir/xyz*.htm

or something like that! Is it possible?

Thanks!
