Exclude folder from htaccess

I have a site which uses htaccess in order to use nice URLs. However I want the htaccess file to leave alone a whole folder and it's content completely. The content of my htaccess file is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1

How should I complete the above code to EXCLUDE completely the folder named "admin"

Many thanks in advance!

I had problems with PhpMyAdmin in a subdirectory of TYPO3. After long time I found this block in a .htaccess-file in a directory above causing malfunction of one file of phpmyadmin:

# UTF-8 encoding
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddCharset utf-8 .atom .css .js .json .manifest .rdf .rss .vtt .webapp .webmanifest .xml
</IfModule>

Reason for this was that there exists a file phpmyadmin.css.php which is triggered by the rule.
After changing the rule like following PhpMyAdmin is working normally:

# UTF-8 encoding
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
    AddCharset utf-8 .atom .js .json .manifest .rdf .rss .vtt .webapp .webmanifest .xml

    #####
    ## This block is for the file phpmyadmin.css.php, where the suffix css is not the last one.
    ## @see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_mime.html#multipleext
    #####
    <FilesMatch "[^.]+\.css$">
      AddCharset utf-8 .css
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

The condition <FilesMatch "[^.]+\.css$"> is only triggered if the suffix css is at the end of the filename.

So my case is not about rewriting but about a resembling problem where rewriting seemed being the solution first for me.

You could also put a new .htaccess file in the folder you want to ignore, saying:

RewriteEngine Off

Where the folder you want excluded is /excluded-folder/ you would add the following rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/excluded-folder/.*$

before the other two RewriteConds you have listed.
