First: have you actually got spaces in your URL, or is that a typo?

[moty66]

the redirect should be like this

example.com/dir -> example.com/dir2/
example.com/dir/file.ext -> example.com/dir2/

If I understand you correctly, you want a request for any file that was previously in dir to be directed to the index page of dir2. This will do that:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^dir/.* http://example.com/dir2/ [R=301,L]
