.htaccess rewrite all, except one page

Question

I am trying to solve a problem with my .htaccess file.

I would like to use 301 redirect from my "old" doman to the "new" one, except some certain pages. Like "PageA" and "PageB".

The code thats working and iam using for redirect all is this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.old.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

"PageA", and "PageB" has to be redirected to the "new" domain too, but to a certain address. Like:

old.com/pageA  ---> new.com/something/pageA
old.com/pageB  ---> new.com/something2/pageB

What code should i add to .htaccess, to add some exceptions with certain addresses ?

Try below rule,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(pageA|pageB)$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.new.com/test/%1 [L,R=301,NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.old\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.new.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
