Redirect www for subdomains?

[DWDC_Infinity-Free]

How do I redirect from if someone types in www before the subdomain url … ex: www.sub.mydomain.com I want it to redirect to sub.mydomain.com … I do see the “redirect” feature in the control panel but I’m not sure what to put in the top box www.sub.mydomain.com? www? www.sub?
