RedirectMatch 301 /29954.html(.*) /?p=29954$1
RedirectMatch 301 /[0-9].html(.*) /?p=[0-9]$1
RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+).html(.*) /?p=([0-9]+)$1
RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+).html(.*) /?p=$1 (worked)
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+).html(.*) /?p=$1
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+).html(.*) /?p=$1
