rewrite www. to without www. in .htaccess for hostname instead of writing in the website name?

Question

I currently use:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.e-innovate.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://e-innovate.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

But what i am trying to do is create a general rewrite code which i can drop into .htaccess files without having to change the domain name such as below, i dont seem to be able to get this to work, am i on the right track ?

Thanks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Try:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

note that this will also get applied to subdomains.
