Yii Setting a custom URL format

Question

What i am trying to do is to create a custom rule in Yii for URL management.

The general URL rules are set in main.php

    'urlManager'=>array(
        'urlFormat'=>'path',
                    'showScriptName'=>false,
        'rules'=>array(
            '<controller:\w+>'=>'<controller>/index',
                            '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
        ),

the .htaccess file is also set like

RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d


# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php

so i have URLs in the form

local/cp/xyz/create

Now i have a custom controller for which the current URL is like

local/cp/xyz/create/abc

what i want is

local/cp/abc/create

Assuming 'local/cp' is your application url, 'xyz' is the controller and 'abc' is some kind of variable (I'll call it myVar), you'd need a rule like so:

'<myVar:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'xyz/<action>',

or

'<myVar:\w+>/create'=>'xyz/create',

Sort of.. Actually i got it working. What i had to use was, '<_mod:(abc|cbd)>/<_ac:(create|delete)>' => 'xyz/<_ac>/<_mod>', It got hard to explain my question.
