Definitely should just copy the 18661234567 extension set and then remove the 1. I do not believe you can use regular expressions (I take it you _do_ mean regex, and not the standard pattern matching)
That's all I got... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Kennedy Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2005 5:59 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] extensions and regular expressions ( probablyan easy question ) Hi Dan, Thanks for the info, but what I'm after is the ability to match a digit/character 0 or 1 times at the beginning of the string. If I'm reading your example right, it'll match anything starting with 866, which doesn't work for me. I am trying to match: 18661234567 and 8661234567 Sean ps: The pdf doesn't have a good explaination of this either, although it occurs to me that this might not be possible with * if I'm having such a hard time finding it.
