Redirect url's using RewriteRule

Question

I had a site, say example.com/drupal running on xampp

I have since changed the DocumentRoot in httpd.conf to /drupal/, so that I could access my site using example.com

But Google has already crawled my site and shows results of the form

example.com/drupal/something

which of course go to 404 pages.

How do I use RewriteRules to redirect

example.com/drupal/something

to

example.com/something ?

I'd simply use the standard Apache RedirectPermanent directive instead of bothering with attempting to use the relatively expensive Rewrite engine.

RewriteRule ^/drupal$ / RewriteRule ^/drupal/(.*) /$1
