How to remove part of URl with .htaccess?

Question

Currently, I have 20+ URLs on my site in this format

http://www.example.net/content/index/mission

I want to remove /content/index from all URLs, so they should look something like this

http://www.example.net/mission

In other words, I would always remove /content/index from the URL. I'm sure it's really straightforward, but I'm not very experienced with Apache.

You would need the rewrite module of Apache: mod_rewrite.

Then do something like this:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^content/index/(.*)$ $1

Here is the official documentation of mod_rewrite: click
