problem with .htaccess

[SlowMove]

I want to direct every page on an old site to a specific page on a new site. I'm using a simple .htaccess 301 redirect:

redirect 301 / h**p://www.newsite.com/dir/page.html

It works well if I type h**p://www.oldsite.com,
but if I enter h**p://www.oldsite.com/foo/bar.html,
I'm directed to h**p://www.newsite.com/dir/page.htmlfoo/bar.html.
The redirect is appending everything after the old domain which isn't what I'm trying to do. Any help would be appreciated.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but the following did the trick:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h**p://www.newsite.com/dir/page.html [R=301,L]

You could also use the RedirectMatch [httpd.apache.org] directive to accomplish the same thing in a more familiar way, if you like.
