apache redirect remove part of url

[madshov]

How do make a redirect of the following example:

www.test.com/xxx/yyy -> www.test.com/yyy

In other words I would to always remove xxx from the url.
I'm sure it's really straight forward, but I'm not very experienced with Apache.

Something like this (.htaccess file)

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^xxx/yyy$ /yyy [R=301]
