How to do this unique 301 redirect (Read inside)

Here is my case and here is what I tried. Please suggest how to over come this.

Case:
I have to redirect mysite.com/abc1.asp, mysite.com/abc2.asp, mysite.com/abc3.asp and similarly till mysite.com/abc200.asp to mysite.com

That is to redirect some older sequence page to home page.

What I tried:
I tried this in cpanel and it didnt work.

301 redirect
From page: Tried the following
mysite.com/ab*
mysite.com/abc???.asp
mysite.com/ab*.asp

to mysite.com

But none of this has worked. Can you help me with the wildcard to use in this scenario?

 

where in cpanel have you placed it? try working with the 301 redirect code via .htaccess

 

You have to do this redirection throug IIS file which is on the root directory.

 

There is an option called Redirect in cpanel. I did through this. It generates the required htaccess code. Its not a big difference.

Did you read the question properly? I need instruction to redirect with that use case.

 

How do I do that? That is the question. Dont simply answer for the sake of increasing your post count. If you know real answer please respond.

 

Try this... add this to your .htaccess file in your root web folder:
