htaccess redirect specific url to another domain

Question

I want to redirect specific URL with params to another domain

Here my htaccess

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/*buy/(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/*buy/?w=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ http://anotherdomain.tld/product.php?id=$1 [NC,L,R=301]

but not working. maybe the problem is param ?w=

Thank you

UPDATE: i solve the problem by using Query string, after reading How to REGEX and .htaccess rewrite url

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^w=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^/*buy/$ http://anotherdomain.tld/product.php?id=%1 [NC,L,R=301]

Thank you stackoverflow and folks! i m start understanding regex from here ^_^

That's right, your params won't be picked up, but they can be passed on.

Something like;

RewriteRule ^buy/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ http://anotherdomain.tld/product.php?id=$1 [NC,L,R=301]

Where your original url would be; /buy/X1234
