Replace directory name in url with another name

Using htaccess, how can I change the url "http://www.website.com/abc/..." to "http://www.website.com/xyz/..." so it acts as a redirect to the same filename/directory structure after "xyz" as it did after "abc".

RewriteRule ^abc/(.*)$ /xyz/$1 [R=302,L,QSA]

This will redirect example.com/abc/pink-kitten to example.com/xyz/pink-kitten (or example.com/abc/ to example.com/xyz/) but will not do anything if trailing slash after the folder name is missing (i.e. example.com/abc will not be redirected). If you need the last case as well then you will need to use separate rule for that.

You can change redirect code [R=302] to another if required (e.g. 301 Permanent Redirect).
