htaccess rewrite question

What would be the htaccess syntax to redirect requests as such?

Request
http://personalweb.example.com/~user
Rewrite to
http://personalweb.example.com/user/
Basically just removing the tilde.

Thanks

If you do this globally, it can't be in an htaccess file - but must be in your
main configuration.

Yes - because it affects more than one user.

this matches all requests that start with a /tilde combination and
catches everything else and redirects to just that
ReWriteRule ^/tilde(.*) /$1 [L]

i would have used the tilde character in the rule but im on a friends
mac book and cant find it on the keyboard. (or the delete key!)

in other words no url can start with a tilde or it will be served from
the url without. It doesnt update the url though
