Re: [Asterisk-Users] Wildcards and variable number of digits

[Karl Brose]

No Brian,
The old driver scans the ENTIRE dial plan on EVERY digit dialed so no 
matter where, if you have a
"." wildcard in the plan, it will match always on the first digit dialed.
It is the driver that does this.
If you use a SIP phone, or any technology that presents a complete dial 
string, then you are correct
with your examples.

Actually it does the proper usage of the "." char in your dial plan should
solve this problem.  It's not the channel driver that's doing this its
asterisk.  You need to sandbox a wildcard into its own context then include
it.  Otherwise it wins NO MATER WHAT.  This way an extension defined within
the current context wins over the included wildcard context.

Not sure I understand..does that help my problem of not being able to
enter
sufficient digits, or is that a consideration once I get a driver that
allows me to # terminate the dialing string?

Just to clarify the usage of the . wildcard in your dialplan.
Here is the proper usage of this feature which seems to not be
     

documented
   

ANYWHERE very well.
[default]
include => other
exten => _712XXX,1,NoOp,Blah
[other]
exten => _7.,1,NoOp,somethingelse
The extensions in the current context win over an include.. only if
something doesn't specifically match in [default] but does as a wildcard
     

as
