regex Redirect subdirectories in htaccess , but DONT redirect the parent directory index itself

Hello I am trying to 301 redirect any and all subdirectories of a parent directory , but NOT have the parent directory index itself be redirected

Here's what I currently have

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^parent/(.*) /newtoplevel/parent/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

The above code seems to work fine, but unfortunately for my use it also redirects the original parent index to the new. For example if I load http://example.com/parent/ it will redirect to http://example.com/newtoplevel/parent/ which is NOT what I need...

I only want the various /parent/subdirectory/ to redirect to /newtoplevel/parent/subdirectory

While making sure that /parent/index.html ( http://example.com/parent/ ) does NOT redirect

If you want only the subdirectories (parent/.../) of parent to be redirected (and keeping the sub-trees as-is) then you should use the following regex:

^parent/(.+/.+)
