mod rewrite issue

RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)-([0-9]*).html /myscript.php?var=$1&var2=$2 [NC,L]

I have been the code above for few years now, it works fine but when a url such as 2-1.html__ is requested it still works instead of producing 404.

The question is how could i modify it so if there is anything else after .html it does not get executed?

it is a little strange to me as i do not have a wildcard or anythign after .html and why it still executes a url like 2-1.html__ i have no clue.

Thank you.

You *do* have a wildcard, because the pattern is not end-anchored; Add a "$" after ".html" to end-anchor the pattern.
