Global redirect possible?

[ricks99]

I know I can create redirect in my .htaccess for a specific file:


Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://mysite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

Is it possible to create a "global" redirect for all files in a specific directory? I tried:


Redirect /olddirectory/*.* http://mysite.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

But it didn't seem to work.

But this redirects the entire directory to a new directory...

RewriteRule ^olddirectory/(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/newdirectory/$1

What I want is to direct an entire directory to a specific file (which will/may be named differently than the original) -- not another directory. Is this possible?
