Adding an exception to an iRule

We have an iRule we are using to remove spaces from URLs, due to some issues we were having. However, I need to adjust the iRule to allow one directory to buy pass the iRule. Here is the iRule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set uri [HTTP::uri]
    set new_uri [string map {"%20" ""} $uri]
    HTTP::uri $new_uri
}

I need it to apply the rule, unless the url starts with ";

How would I add that exception?

    Something like this:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { !([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/files") } {
        set uri [HTTP::uri]
        set new_uri [string map {"%20" ""} $uri]
        HTTP::uri $new_uri
    }
}
