Replace URL using .htaccess in joomla

Using .htacess on a Joomla website, I need to replace:

example.com/e-books/whatever-text-etc  

By:

example.com/whatever-text-etc

This is what I'm trying:

RewriteRule ^e-books$ /(\d{4}-.*)$1 [R=301,L]

But it isn't working.

Help anyone?

If you do not have more articles, you can create new menu item (parent) and link to your article. So, you will have URL for your article like example.com/whatever-text-etc

Then, if you want to hide this menu item in your menu bar, you just disable this option in details of menu item http://take.ms/rnTXl

After researching, I've found that this works:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+e-books/(\S*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L,NE]
