Is there a way to redirect a every file in a directory to one new location without writing each one out in htaccess?

e.g.

Code:

oldsite.com/dir1/page1.php
oldsite.com/dir1/page2.php
oldsite.com/dir1/anotherdir/page2.php
oldsite.com/dir1/anotherdir/page5.php

all redirect to:

Code:

http://newsite.com/newdir/index.php

at the moment, the only way I know is by doing this:

Code:

Redirect oldsite.com/dir1/page1.php http://newsite.com/newdir/index.php
Redirect oldsite.com/dir1/page2.php http://newsite.com/newdir/index.php
Redirect oldsite.com/dir1/anotherdir/page2.php http://newsite.com/newdir/index.php
Redirect oldsite.com/dir1/anotherdir/page5.php http://newsite.com/newdir/index.php

But there are a lot of pages and a lot of directories that need redirecting to their new relative pages.
NOTE: I don't want to redirect every page from the old site to the same place. I want to redirect each old directory from the old site to a relevant page on the new site.
