How to make changes on .htaccess file so that it won't keep redirect to my domain website?

Below is the .htaccess file code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$
RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/]
RewriteRule ^api/?(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

i try change my RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ to RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost/example$

but it keep loading. How can i make sure it go to my localhost since i want to make some changes?

But it think, this rule redirects to your localhost.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost/example$.

Try to insert your domain, instead of localhost.
