apache2 server redirect

Struggled for a while with mod-rewrite and all that to redirect one page to another page on the apache server. Finally solution turned out to be simple, as referred to in one line in the page above,
"Note that this can also be handled using the RedirectMatch directive". Syntax was, in relevant virtual host file, within the Directory tag,
RedirectMatch path/to/url.html http://server.path/to/redirected/file.htm
