Hello

here is a piece of htaccess i am stuck converting into nginx rewrite  
conventions :

RewriteCond %{QUERY\_STRING} ^sms\_ss= [OR]  
RewriteCond %{QUERY\_STRING} ^scvds=  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ [http://www.mysite.com/$1](http://www.mysite.com/$1)? [R=301,L]

I am trying something like

if ($args ~ "sms\_ss= (._)") {  
rewrite ^ /(._)=$args? break;  
}

Not working

Any advice would be appreciated thanks

if ($arg\_ss) {  
rewrite ^ $uri? permanent;;  
}

if ($arg\_scvds) {  
rewrite ^ $uri? permanent;;  
}
