htaccess: how to stop it after first match – CPanel

this is my htaccess file :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        # Turn mod_rewrite on
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase /
       
        RewriteRule ^getlastversion(.*)$ /lastversion.php$1 [R=301,NC,L,QSA]

        # this is temporary and should be removed 
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com?$1 [R=301,NC,L,QSA]

    You may try this rule with a negative lookahead condition:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
       
RewriteRule ^getlastversion(.*)$ /lastversion.php$1 [R=301,NC,L,QSA]

# this is temporary and should be removed 
RewriteRule ^(?!lastversion.php)(.*)$ http://example.com?$1 [R=301,NC,L]

    (?!lastversion.php) is negative lookahead that will skip this rule if we have /lastversion.php at the start of the URL.

    Make sure to test this rule after fully clearing your browser cache.
