How can you set up a redirect that will do this:

olddomain.com -> newdomain.com/oldsite

AND do this:

olddomain.com/anyusefuldir -> newdomain.com/anyusefuldir

I guess I just need to detect if the url has any file or directory other than index...

What I have tried:

I cant figure out what to try other than

<rule name="Redirects olddomain.com" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
		            <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
		            <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
		                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^olddomain.*(com|org)$" />
		                <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www.)?olddomain.(com|org)$" />
		            </conditions>
		            <action type="Redirect" url="https://newdomain.org/{R:0}" />
		        </rule>

How about:

XML

<rule name="Redirects olddomain.com/anyusefuldir" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url=".+" />
    <conditions>
        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www\.)?olddomain\.(com|org)$" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Redirect" url="https://newdomain.org/{R:0}" />
</rule>

<rule name="Redirects olddomain.com" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url=".+" negate="true" />
    <conditions>
        <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(www.)?olddomain.(com|org)$" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Redirect" url="https://newdomain.org/oldsite" />
</rule>

The first rule matches when there is a path; the second matches when you navigate to the root of the site.

And you don't need two conditions; the one pattern will match with or without the www. prefix. But you do need to escape the . character, as it has special meaning in a regular expression.
