301 redirect does not match directory structure

I have a website with 3000 pages in HTML. Now I have switched to a CMS which does not have an extension in the url. I have kept the same url structure as in the HTML site.

Example:

HTML Site URL:

www.site.com/xyzdirectory/abc.html

CMS website

www.site.com/xyzdirectory/abc

For this I am using the code below .htaccess

.

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.html$ http://www.example.com$1

But it doesn't fit the directory structure.

If you want to remove .html extension from html file, for example:

www.site.com/xyzdirectory/abc.html

to

 www.site.com/xyzdirectory/abc


you just need to change the last line from the above code to match the filename:

RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
