mod_rewrite question: regex help needed

Aug 27th, 2007

Hello... I am trying to use mod_rewrite to send all traffic that isn't going to the directory /catalog to the /test directory

I tried a combination of ReWriteCond and Rewriterule:-
rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(^\/catalog.*) [NC]
rewriteRule (.*) /test/$1 [R]

This is working inconsistently, however....

/catalog gets rewritten, although I want it not too..
/catalog/ is OK, as planned
/catalog/config gets rewritten although I want it not too

Any ideas on what I can do here?? Basically, redirecting all requests that are NOT for the shopping cart, /catalog to /test, but its not working consistently..

thanks in advance for your help
