Hyphen at the end of URL

  • Hi hopefully someone can help me with this simple one.

    I am migrating a blog with tens of thousands of pages into wordpress while trying to maintain the permalink structure. I have 50 or so urls that have a hyphen at the end i.e. https://www.url.com/pagename-.html. The problem is wordpress automatically strips out this hyphen and only allows the post to be called https://www.url.com/pagename.html. I have tried adding ­ at the end as well as editing the database directly but none seem to work. Can anyone suggest a modification that will allow me to get this hyphen to stay?

    I am aware that I can sort the issues by using 301 redirect but I want to avoid this as the .htaccess is already quite hefty.

    Thank you very much for any help given.

    Anyone? This will save me having around 400 301 redirects so it would be a massive help if anyone could let me know if this can be done.
