My post would be more of a tutorial to explain so I will post a link or two to help you in the future. Read these documents and you will see why:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/rewriteguide.html

Code:

RedirectMatch 301 (.*PROD&)(Product_Code=)([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ http://temp.mydomain.com/ce.php?$3
