Need help for redirection from directory

can someone explain me how to do that?

[followgreg]

Guys,

Ok my mod_rewrite skills suck! - For some reason I can not make the simple following to happen:

Permanently redirect /directory/anypage.html
to /anypage.html

When I say 'anypage' it means whatever page in the /directory/ should be redicted to its equivalent but in the root.

Please help :)

Thx

RedirectMatch 301 /directory/(.*) http://example.com/$1

Or for .html files and .html files only:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/directory/([^.]+\.html)$ http://example.com/$1

-or-

RedirectMatch 301 ^/directory/([^.]+)\.html$ http://example.com/$1.html
