.htaccess redirect folder to other folder

[theChronic]

Hey whats up
Does anyone know of a way so that if anything in a folder is accessed, it is redirect to the same file name but in a different folder?

Here is the human concept:
redirect 301 /people/cool/* http://www.jkfdljakfl.com/people/awesome/*

Thanks a lot
John

Options +FollowSymLinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^people/cool(.*)$ http://www.jkfdljakfl.com/people/awesome$1 [L,R=301]

</IfModule>

If you already have your .htaccess setup with other redirects, just add that section that does the redirection as shown above.

Note: I was looking for something similar and I found this but with a rather unforgiving answer that reads RTFM. Why would someone want to read the whole manual to find a single solution.

I registered just to reply to this question so others in future might find it useful.

So, enjoy!

Thumbs up to you, Brajeshwar!
