Many thanks for your help! I have been looking for it very long….finally got it.

And one more question,
Can I redirect a site being hosted in a IIS server to an APACHE server with the same codes?

Thank you……..

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^old_dir/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/new_dir/$1 [R=301,L]

Is the correct code to be using

Yeah, doesn’t work for me either.

When I use that code it does:

domain.com/foldertoredirect/crap/

domain.com/crap/

I can’t get rid of all the other variables. I want to redirect the entire folder contents and any possible combination to the root domain page.
