I need help redirecting in .htaccess

from:
‎‎/boys-shoes-c-23_24.html?page=2&sort=2a
‎‎/boys-shoes-c-23_24.html?page=2&sort=4a
to:
‎/boys-shoes-c-23_24.html

and
from:
‎‎/swaddle-designs-c-27_77_14.html?page=2&sort=4a
to:
‎/swaddle-designs-c-27_77_14.html

- the "-c-" is in all urls
- the text before and the numbers after the "-c-" are the same in the from: and to:, but there are many of these different instances
- "?page=...." anything after .html is what I want to eliminate and redirect to the url without this extra characters

There must be a way to do this in 1 line.
Any help is appreciated

Thanks

mm, this can be tricky to do using mod_rewrite, it could be easier to do it using php, kind of like the zero duplicate mod is doing with phpBB, eg match the uri against the attended url, and HTTP 301 redirect when it does not match.
