This has already been answered, but here's the code altogether containing helpful comments so people have a reference to look back on later should they forget what it does.

Put this in your .htaccess file:

## Each and every page on old domain redirects to single page
## By appending question mark to new domain, query strings are removed
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/? [L,R=301]

## Each and every page on old domain redirects to single page
## By appending question mark to new domain, query strings are removed
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/sub-directory/? [L,R=301]
