creating htaccess file in wamp server

Question

I am trying to create .htaccess file inside wamp/www/myDirectory. But i am not able to create, it says 'you must type file name'

I have enabled the mod-rewrite also. Now i want to check URL hiding,but i am not able to create .htaccess.

I have created .htaccess file and written code like this

# Avoid redirect loop
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

# Add trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [R=302,L]

RewriteRule ^purchase(.*)$ $1 [R=302,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/purchase/
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ purchase/$1 [L,QSA]

How can i do this. Please suggest

I no longer use apache, so am unable to verify your code. Give it a try, and see what happens? – Peter Sep 13 '14 at 20:36

In windows, just go to the folder using cmd and type the following command DIR>.htaccess.

This command will create a .htaccess file and will dump some data in it.
