htacces Path Rewrite to get Contents From a Different Folder

[unemployment]

How do you do a simple path rewrite in .htaccess? I need my localhost/blog url to access the content located in localhost/assets/blog . How do I make this rule occur in htaccess?

My full .htaccess code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

</IfModule>


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mysite.com$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L,S=4]


# If requested resource exists as a file or directory, skip next three rules

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1 -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1 -d

RewriteRule (.*) - [S=3]


# Blog articles.

# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# RewriteRule ^/?blog/([^/]+)/(\d+)/(\d+)$ blog.php?title=$1&id=$2&reply_to=$3 [L,S=1]


# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# RewriteRule ^/?blog/([^/]+)/(\d+)$ blog.php?title=$1&id=$2 [L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(blog/.*)$ /assets/$1 [L,NC]


# Remove the .php extension

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]


# for copying

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]


RewriteRule (.*)\.xml(.*) $1.php$2 [nocase] 


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php?tag=$1 [QSA,L]


# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Custom 404 page

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------


# You can add custom pages to handle 500 or 403 pretty easily, if you like.

ErrorDocument 403 /error.php?type=403

ErrorDocument 404 /error.php?type=404

ErrorDocument 500 /error.php?type=500
