    This is probably dead simple, but I can't seem to find an article that addresses exactly what I need done. I already have an existing htaccess page with mod_rewrite rules applied working on my server.

    I need an htaccess rule to turn this URL
    http://www.sitename.com/archive/2008/02/29/Article_Name_Here/main_feed
    into this URL
    http://www.sitename.com/archive/2008/02/29/Article_Name_Here

    This will need to be a general rule to convert all incoming URLs that have this main_feed bit attached to it, not just a single instance.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I just gave that a shot and it didn't seem to do anything. Is there something else I should be doing to make it work?

    This would be better:
    Tell me if it works as wanted.

    Explicitly turning RewriteEngine On like Isaak added will probably do it.
