you can read https://www.addedbytes.com/articles/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/ and what you need are regular expressions (regexes)
regexes are are chapter for themselves and very tricky to understand sometimes they can also be used with linux commands like grep, sed,... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
the Apache server has a (url) rewrite engine: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html
