We use extensions like "plant201" and "tunnel12" so it does work in 1.4

Espinal Sent: February 11, 2009 10:16 PM To: Asterisk Users List Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Strange dialplan matching issue On extensions.conf.sample I see this: ; Extension names may be numbers, letters, or combinations ; thereof. If an extension name is prefixed by a '_' ; character, it is interpreted as a pattern rather than a ; literal. In patterns, some characters have special meanings: ; ; X - any digit from 0-9 ; Z - any digit from 1-9 ; N - any digit from 2-9 ; [1235-9] - any digit in the brackets (in this example, 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9) ; . - wildcard, matches anything remaining (e.g. _9011. matches ; anything starting with 9011 excluding 9011 itself) ; ! - wildcard, causes the matching process to complete as soon as ; it can unambiguously determine that no other matches are possible Maybe after using '_' Asterisk is waiting for one of the above pattern matching characters. a. The 'hilton-' part of your dialplan might not being considered valid, and Asterisk *might* be trying to match the 'XX' part LITERALLY, and would be trying to reach extension '2XX' exten => _hilton-2XX,1,Goto(hilton,${EXTEN:7},1) b. then, in: exten => hilton-203,1,Goto(hilton,${EXTEN:7},1) You provided the real extension number (after you take out the fist 7 digits). So, Asterisk reaches '203', etc. Try only using valid pattern matching characters in your dialplan to see if it works.
