htaccess redirect when there's no files

Question

I have a directory with a lot of php files. But now I'm not using them anymore, so I want to redirect to my new url.

When the file exist I'm doing this:

RewriteRule client/z_([^/]*) redirect.php [L]

But how can I redirect when there's no file?
ie:
the file client/z_123.php exists and it works.
but the file client/z_321 doesn't exist, and I want to show the redirect.php with the same this link.

My question is: How can I make this working when the files doesn't exist?

@ChetanAmeta I already have the ErrorDocument 404 /404.php and I want to keep it. — BrunoRamalho, Feb 05 '16 at 11:22

Use the ? regex symbol.

RewriteRule client/(_([&/]*))? redirect.php [L]
